Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Bring a medium saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
  • Pull out a sieve, a measuring jug & a large frying pan

Get the rice on & make the coconut mixture

  • Add the rice to the saucepan and boil for 25-30 mins, until cooked, then drain
  • Dissolve the creamed coconut in the jug with 100ml boiling water

Curry time

  • Thinly slice the onion. Trim and cut the broccoli into thirds
  • Heat the large frying pan with 2 tsp oil on medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for 5 mins, until golden. Season with salt and pepper. Add the broccoli and onion and cook for another 5 mins, until the veg softens
  • Meanwhile, roughly chop the coriander. Rinse the spinach

Simmer simmer

  • Stir the curry paste, ginger & garlic paste and lemongrass puree into the chicken pan. Cook for another 4 mins
  • Add the coconut mixture and tamari. Simmer for 3-4 mins, until the curry thickens and the chicken is cooked through

Last bits

  • Add the spinach and half the coriander to the curry. Cook for a final 1-2 mins, until the spinach has wilted
  • Season to taste. Add a splash of water if needed

Finish & plate up

  • Check your chicken is cooked through by cutting a large piece in half; the flesh should be white and the juices running clear
  • Share the chicken curry between bowls, with the rice alongside. Garnish with the remaining coriander
