Method

  1. Heat the oil in a non-stick pan, then fry the chicken and onion with a pinch of salt for 5 minutes until the onion has softened a little and the chicken has browned. Add the pepper and cauliflower and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring.
  2. Stir in the curry paste and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, then add the stock, tomatoes and bay leaf. Simmer for 10 minutes or until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is completely cooked through. Serve garnished with the coriander, plenty of black pepper and the lemon wedges for squeezing over.
