Method
- Toss the red onion in the lime juice and set aside to pickle.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a saucepan over a medium-high heat and fry the chicken for 8-10 mins, tossing frequently, until golden. Add the onion, garlic and ginger and cook for 3-4 mins, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften.
- Stir in the sauce and 100ml water and simmer for 5 mins. Add the cauliflower florets and cook for 12-15 mins, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is al dente and the chicken is tender and cooked through. Stir in the cauliflower leaves.
- Meanwhile, cook the rice to pack instructions. Divide among plates, top with the curry, then serve with the coriander and drained pickled onion.

Freezing and defrosting guidelines
Freeze the cooled curry only in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Defrost overnight in the fridge; reheat until piping hot. In order to enjoy optimum flavour and quality, frozen items are best used within 3 months of their freezing date. For more tips on freezing and defrosting food, read our article Love Your Freezer.
