Method
- Heat the oil in a large pan and cook the onion and butternut squash on a low heat for about 15 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cumin seeds, then cook for a further 5 minutes until the tomatoes are softened and pulpy.
- Stir in the paprika, curry paste and stock and bring to the boil. Add the chicken and simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, covering with a lid half way through, until the chicken is cooked through. To check that the chicken is completely cooked, pierce a thick piece gently with a skewer - it's ready when the juices run clear.
- Meanwhile, cook the rice according to the packet instructions.
- Season the curry and add lemon juice to taste. Spoon into serving bowls with the drained rice and scatter with coriander leaves.
