Curry night? Sorted. Make a big portion for the whole family and simply serve yours over a generous serving of cauliflower rice.

The flavours of this dish improve in time, so if you can, slow cook this in the oven or save some for leftovers for lunch/dinner to enjoy over the next day or so.

This one can be made with chicken pieces on the bone (cook for 60 minutes), if you’d prefer.
