Make it happen

  1. 01

    Soften the sliced onion and diced carrots in the oil over a medium heat for 9 minutes, then stir in crushed garlic for 30 seconds.

  2. 02

    Sprinkle in flour and curry powder and stir for 1 minute; slowly add stock while stirring until smooth, then add soy sauce and honey and simmer the sauce for 10 minutes.

  3. 03

    Coat chicken cutlets in flour, dip in beaten egg and press into panko breadcrumbs; cook in extra oil in a frying pan over medium heat, about 5–7 minutes per side.

  4. 04

    Check the chicken is fully cooked (75°C at the thickest point), then slice and serve over the rice with the hot homemade curry sauce.

  5. 05

    Rinse the rice until the water runs almost clear. Add to a saucepan with 450 ml water, bring to the boil, cover and simmer on very low heat for 12 minutes; rest covered for 5 minutes.

  6. 06

    Taste, adjust the seasoning and spoon the hot curry over the rice to serve.
