Sweet, earthy beetroot cooked in a coconut milk broth spiced with black mustard seeds, cumin and fenugreek and balanced with a touch of garlic, ginger and chilli. Beetroot is definitely the star of this dish. But don't forget the juicy pan fried chicken breast and the crunchy kale, apple and coconut slaw. Yum!

Step 1

1 Cook Rice

In a medium pot, bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil. Stir in the rice. Cover and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 15 minutes until all of the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and set aside, with lid on, in a warm place to let rice finish cooking. Fluff the finished rice with a fork.

Step 2

2 Prepare Ingredients

Peel and dice onion, garlic and ginger. Slice chilli. Thinly slice kale. Julienne or grate apple. Peel beetroot and chop into chunks.

Step 3

3 Make Curry

Heat a pot on medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Add spice and cook for 30 seconds, be careful not to burn. Add onions, 1/2 garlic and 1/2 ginger, cook for 2-3 minutes. Add beetroot and 1/2 chilli, cook for 1-2 minutes. Add coconut milk and salt, reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer for 20-25 minutes or until beetroot is tender.

Step 4

4 Cook Chicken

Heat a grill pan on medium high heat with a drizzle of oil. Season chicken with remaining ginger, garlic, salt and pepper. Add chicken to the pan and cook for 5-6 minutes each side or until cooked through. Rest for a few minutes and slice.

Step 5

5 Make Salad

Toast shredded coconut in a dry pan on low heat until lightly brown, about 2-5 minutes. Mix kale, apple and most of the toasted coconut (saving some for garnish). Season salad with olive oil and salt.
