Butter chicken curry with yellow rice, naan bread and green garnish.

Ingredients

300g Quorn Pieces
1 tbsp oil
1 large onion, finely sliced
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
1 tsp finely chopped fresh ginger
2 tsp Garam Masala
1 tsp chilli powder
2 tsp smoked paprika
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tbsp tomato puree
200g natural yoghurt
Juice of 1/2 lemon
300ml vegetable stock
Salt and ground black pepper

Method

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, non-stick frying pan.
Add the sliced onion and fry on a medium heat for 5 minutes until soft.
Add the garlic, ginger, spices and tomato puree. Give it a stir and fry for 1-2 minutes, stirring so it doesn't stick to the pan.
Stir in the yoghurt, lemon juice and vegetable stock until smooth.
Add the Quorn Pieces and season with salt and pepper.
Bring to the boil. Simmer for 10 minutes until the sauce has thickened and the Quorn is cooked through.
Serve with microwave rice and a naan.
