Method

  1. Thinly slice the spring onions, keeping a handful of the green tops for garnish.
  2. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat and soften the spring onions and garlic for a few minutes.
  3. Add the tomatoes, curry powder and ginger and cook for 3–4 minutes, adding a splash of water if it catches.
  4. Add the chicken, stir to coat and cook for 5 minutes until it starts to brown.
  5. Pour in the water, bring to the boil, then simmer for 10–15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
  6. Steam the tenderstem for 3–4 minutes and heat the pilau rice.
  7. Take the curry off the heat, stir in the yoghurt for the sauce and season.
  8. Serve with the rice and broccoli, topped with the rest of the yoghurt and the spring onion.
Tip: Stir the yoghurt in off the heat, or it can split.
