Method

  • step 1

    Heat the grill. Put the potatoes in a pan of cold water, stir in the turmeric, then bring to the boil. Simmer for 12-15 mins until tender. Steam the broccoli in a metal colander or sieve over the potato pan for 4-5 mins until tender.

  • step 2

    Mix together the tamarind paste and mango chutney. Make a few slashes in each chicken breast and place on a baking tray. Brush with the tamarind mixture, then grill for 5 mins on each side or until cooked through and sticky.

  • step 3

    Drain the potatoes. Mash with the yogurt, korma paste and seasoning, then keep warm. To serve, stir most of the spring onions into the mash, then spoon onto plates. Scatter with the remaining spring onions and serve alongside the sticky chicken and broccoli.

I wasn't very impressed by the chicken breast - the tamarind paste was lumpy and wouldn't spread. I enjoyed the mash though.

A really tasty, easy dish to have up your sleeve. Loved the mash potato (although be careful draining the turmeric stained potatoes if you have a white plastic sink!).

Really enjoyed this dinner. I used equal amounts of tamarind and mango chutney for a delicious coating. I kept some back to apply to other side of the chicken when I turned it so both sides got an equal amount (and I didn't end up with a grill full of the stuff!). The mash was very nice but I would…
