by BBC Good Food

This easy low-carb lunch is packed with iron rich veggies, crunchy cashews and chicken. Serve with your favourite steamed greens and a scattering of coriander.

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Put the onion, garlic, ginger, chillies and coriander stalks in a small food processor and blitz to a paste.

Step 2

Heat a large, non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the cashews and toast for 1-2 mins until light golden. Set aside and return the pan to the heat. Add the oil and stir-fry the paste for 5 mins to soften. Add the garam masala and cook for a further 2 mins.

Step 3

Add the tomatoes and stock to the pan. Mix well, then tip into a blender (or use a handheld blender) with the cashews and blitz until smooth. Return to the pan, season and bring to the boil, then lower to a simmer.

Step 4

Cook for 30 mins until the sauce has thickened then add the chicken, cover with a lid and simmer for another 15 mins, until the chicken is cooked through. Add the yoghurt and stir well to make a creamy sauce. Cook the green beans in boiling salted water for 3 minutes before draining.

Step 5

Scatter the curry with the coriander leaves and serve with the green beans.
