Ingredients (Serves two to three)

• 400g Diced chicken Breast (2 breasts)
• 1 can chick peas
• 1 can frozen mixed vegetables (I get the mix with carrot, sweetcorn, peas and green beans.  Use your empty chick pea can to measure.)
• 1 pot Thai Red Curry sauce (my favourite brand is made by The Curry Co)
• A drizzle of vegetable oil to fry the chicken
• 1 1/3 cups Basmati Rice

Method

In a large saucepan heat the oil and fry the chicken breast gently for approximately 5 minutes until seared on all sides. Add the chick peas and frozen vegetables and cook for a further 3 minutes. Add the curry sauce and leave to simmer for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile add the Basmati Rice to a separate pan with two cups of water and heat until gently boiling.  Put a lid on and turn down to the lowest heat possible and leave to steam for approx 20 minutes. Check periodically that the rice isn’t sticking to the bottom of the pan.  If you have the heat too high it will take less than 20 minutes for the water to evaporate and the rice will begin to stick and burn.

Optional side dishes include naan bread, onion bahjis, samosas.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/3 cup butter, softened
• 1 large egg,beaten
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chocolate chips

You can substitute the all purpose flour for self raising flour and omit the baking soda, it works just as well.  I really enjoy this recipe with half white chocotale and half milk chocolate.  You can also throw some nuts or dried fruit in, whatever takes your fancy.  Just keep it to one cup full and it should work out great!

Method

Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 5

Mix together all the ingredients except the flour and chocolate chips. Stir the flour in slowly, it will form a thick dough. Stir the chocolate chips in until they are evenly distributed through the dough. This might take a bit of doing, the dough will be really stiff!

Use a teaspoon to make balls of dough and drop them onto a greased baking tray about 2 inches apart If, like me, you are a novice baker, you might need to experiment a bit to see how much they grow, but if you follow these guidelines and don’t make your balls too big they should be perfect.  Pop them in the oven for about 8-10 minutes until they are golden, then wait until they cool and use a fishslice or spatula to remove them from the tray.

Enjoy with a glass of cold milk!
