Chicken and pumpkin curry for meal prepping

  • Step 1

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the tomato paste, chicken stock, curry powder, garam masala, turmeric, salt and pepper to make the curry paste. Set aside.

  • Step 2

    Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened, then add the garlic and ginger and cook for another minute.

  • Step 3

    Add the chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes until lightly browned.

  • Step 4

    Pour in the curry paste and stir to coat the chicken. Reduce the heat slightly, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.

  • Step 5

    Mix the cornflour with 2 tablespoons of water in a small bowl. Stir into the curry, then add the pumpkin and zucchini. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.

  • Step 6

    Turn off the heat and stir in the yoghurt, lime juice, spinach and brown sugar. Mix well until everything is combined and the spinach has wilted.

  • Step 7

    Serve hot, topped with coriander, if using, and your choice of rice, quinoa, toasted roti or naan.
