Ingredients

  • 2 x 251g packs mini chicken fillets
  • thumb-sized piece of root ginger, grated
  • 1 tbsp thyme leaves
  • 2 tsp hot curry powder
  • 1 tsp ground allspice
  • 1 Scotch bonnet (or other) chilli, deseeded and chopped
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1 onion, roughly chopped
  • 3 mixed peppers, deseeded and diced

Step by step

  1. Put the chicken fillets in a shallow dish and add the grated ginger, thyme leaves, curry powder, allspice, chilli and lemon juice. Add a large pinch of salt, mix together and set aside.
  2. Heat the oil in a large lidded sauté pan. Add the onion and peppers and cook over a high heat for 5 minutes until softened and lightly coloured.
  3. Add the chicken and marinade and cook for a further 5 minutes, stirring often.
    Tip
    A fiery and authentic aromatic chicken curry – leave out the Scotch bonnet chilli to make it milder, if you prefer. Serve with rice as well as chapattis and stretch this to serve 4.
  4. Stir in 200ml water, cover with the lid and cook for a final 5 minutes. Season to taste.
  5. Serve the chicken curry in bowls with warm chapattis.
