Ingredients

  • 140g Chicken Thigh
  • 150g wild rice
  • 80g red pepper
  • 80g carrots
  • 25g curry paste
  • 60g greek yoghurt
  • 10g lemon juice
  • fresh coriander & a pinch of garam masala

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the peppers and carrot, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Cook the wild rice blend according to the pack, usually 20-25 minutes, then drain.

  3. 3

    Toss the chicken thighs in half the sauce and roast at 200°C (180°C fan) for 22-25 minutes, until caramelised at the edges and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Combine the tikka paste, yoghurt and lemon juice. Coat the protein and leave for at least 10 minutes (or overnight) before cooking.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the peppers and carrot for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

    Build the plate: wild rice first, then the veg and chicken thigh, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the fresh coriander & a pinch of garam masala.
