1. Put curry paste in a wok or large frying pan and heat it up (if you like spicy food, add chopped chilli, too).
2. Stir in basmati rice, the shredded cooked chicken or turkey, the frozen peas and the roasted cashews. Stir fry until piping hot, then season with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Serves 2.

  Lovely and quick if you are in a hurry, I use Cumin & Chilli Hot curry paste.About 3/4 of a tablespoon, saves worrying about having a chilli. Also roast the cashews in the microwave for 1 min (850w) gets them nice and toasted, tend to leave the lemon juice out.

  So quick and easy for an after work midweek meal. Tend to throw in whatevers left in the fridge (peppers, prawns instead of chicken etc). A great basic recipe to adapt depending on what you've got available. Also makes a great camping meal (anything in 1 pan is a winner then!)

  Great if you are in a rush or short on time. Really tasty and have done loads of variations depending on what in fridge at time.

  Had this and it was very nice, unusual texture. I put extra vegtables in to it which was onions, mushrooms, carrorts and brocoile. I also halfed the amount of rice as it was only for me and my mum. However would definately have this again.
