I wanted to try dabble in some home cooking. I need to make sure we get as many of our '5 a day' as possible and I normally make meals that don't take too long to cook. 

Today I wanted to try a chicken curry that my mother makes regularly for us all. I forgot to take a picture of the finished product but took lots in the prep stage! How cool am i?? I also used mostly left overs from other meals to show Stephen he didn't have to bin the rice and chicken from yesterday!!! 

So first I added Two heaped Desert spoons of the curry powder with approximately 200ml of water into a wok. I kept on medium heat and mixed vigorously until all lumps disappeared. I added a tiny amount of water to make sure it didn't turn into a paste then took off the heat and added the chicken pieces. 

Next I emptied half the container of peppers and half the container of onions into the wok and brought back onto medium heat again. I only wanted to slightly cook the peppers as we love the crunch of the veg when we eat.

I turned my attention to the rice next. That rice in the bowl had some peas and chicken included as they were all left overs. 

I bunged in the microwave for two minutes and voila! Popped the rice in two bowls and added the curry. 

Bensons Curry powder is probably one of the nicest curry powders we have tasted at home.

This meal is so inexpensive and a great use for the left overs!
