Method

  1. Heat half the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a highish heat. Pour in the beaten egg, swoosh it around the pan and leave it to set for a minute. Flip it over like a pancake and let it cook for a minute more on the otherside, then tip it out flat on to a plate.
  2. Heat the remaining oil in the same pan. Tip in the onion and sizzle for 3-4 minutes until it's starting to brown, then stir in the garlic, curry powder and ketchup. Add the peas and cook for a minute or two until they start to defrost. Tip in the rice, cooked meat and a glass of water (100ml/31⁄2fl oz) and cook over a medium heat for 5-6 minutes, stirring as you go, until everything's piping hot and the rice has taken on the colour of the curry powder.
  3. While your rice is frying, shred the omelette into long strips. Toss the omelette and soy sauce through the rice and cook for a moment more. Scoop the rice on to plates straight from the pan and serve with extra soy sauce for sprinkling over.

    A great standby when you are short of time and the flavours can be adjusted to what you have/like

    Very tasty, maybe add a bit of citrus juice - orange maybe? I've added this to my weekly 'fallback' meals.

    ABSOLUTELY LOVELY! I USED SPINACH, PEPPERS, MUSHROOMS SPRING ONIONS AND CORRIANDER. ALSO USED BALTI CURRY PASTE INSTEAD OF CURRY POWDER. DE-LISH!

    I was a little sceptical about this. Ketchup with rice? But it works. And what a great way to use up cold roast meat (I had beef)

    Nice but I found the omelette was too watery, would make it with milk and 2 eggs next time. Also, I'm veggie so my husband and son had it with the chicken and I had it with some grated cheese on top. Also one of the quickest meals we've had!

    I made this recipe on Monday night as mentioned, was a great way to use up the sunday roast chicken I had left. I did however think that the amount of curry powder was to much so I just used half the amount, plus as another said the water made the egg to thin for a omlette. Overall will cook again, I can always find a satisfying recipe on this site.

    A really quick and tasty meal. We've enjoyed it a few times. We sometimes purchase a shop bought pre-cooked chicken breast and use that instead of using leftovers.
