CHICKEN CURRY HOTPOT 

Indian cuisine is great if you’re on a budget because the ingredients are inexpensive. It’s also warming during the winter months. This is a healthy recipe that will add a bit of Indian spice to your dinner table.

Method:

• Trim the chicken and cut into large bite size pieces.

• Combine chicken, Campbell’s Real Stock Chicken, curry paste, potato and sweet potato in a large heavy based saucepan and bring to the boil.

• Reduce the heat and simmer gently, uncovered, for 30 minutes or until the potatoes and chicken are tender and cooked through.  Serve with naan bread, coriander leaves and some yoghurt, if desired.

• BUDGETTING TIP: This is a great recipe for using up any extra veges you’ve got left over. Throw in some green beans, broccoli, cauliflower or peas to fill out the meal. You can also bulk up this meal by adding more of the economical ingredients - such as the potatoes, kumara or even lentils. If you’re ok with a knife, buy your chicken thighs from the butchery with skin on and bone in – they’re much cheaper and it’s not hard to learn how to dice them up yourself. And finally go for powdered curry spices rather than ready made sauces - they last for up to a year so make great store cupboard ingredients.

• LEFTOVER TIP: This one’s easy to turn into yummy samosas. Just heat your oven to 220C and oil up a baking sheet. Cut 10cm circles of pastry. Place 1 Tbsp leftover filling in centre of each circle, and fold over, just like a turnover. Brush inside edges of each circle with a little water, and fold the edges together to make a small hem. Crimp the edges firmly with a fork. Place samosas on oiled baking sheet. Brush tops with oil. Bake 10 mins in hot oven 220C, then reduce heat to 180C and bake for 5 mins or more following instructions for your brand of pastry. Turn samosas over when you reduce oven temp. Serve asap.
