Heat 2tbsp of the oil in a frying pan and sauté the onion and garlic for 3 minutes. Add the chicken and cook for 5 minutes, browning it all over. Add in the red peppers and cook for a further 2 minutes.

Next add the vegetable stock and tomato purée, along with the ground coriander, cumin, turmeric, ginger and chilli. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, or until the stock has reduced and the chicken is cooked through. Season with sea salt and black pepper, to taste. Remove half the curry from the pan and refrigerat­e in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Return to the curry on the stove and stir half the spinach in, until it is just wilted.

While the curry is simmering, make the cauliflowe­r rice. Place the cauliflowe­r in a food processor and blitz until fine (the consistenc­y should be similar to rice). Heat the remaining

2tbsp of oil in a large frying pan and stir the cauliflowe­r in. Cook for 5-6 minutes, or until softened.

Season with sea salt and black pepper. Remove half the rice from the pan and refrigerat­e in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days.
