1. Heat the grill. Put the potatoes in a pan of cold water, stir in the turmeric, then bring to the boil. Simmer for 12-15 mins until tender. Steam the broccoli in a metal colander or sieve over the potato pan for 4-5 mins until tender.
2. Mix together the tamarind paste and mango chutney. Make a few slashes in each chicken breast and place on a baking tray. Brush with the tamarind mixture, then grill for 5 mins on each side or until cooked through and sticky.
3. Drain the potatoes. Mash with the yogurt, korma paste and seasoning, then keep warm. To serve, stir most of the spring onions into the mash, then spoon onto plates. Scatter with the remaining spring onions and serve alongside the sticky chicken and broccoli.

Quick coronation chicken

Mix 1 tbsp korma paste, 5 tbsp low-fat mayonnaise and 5 tbsp natural yogurt. Shred 300g cooked chicken or turkey and mix into the dressing with 50g flaked almonds, 50g sultanas and 3 sliced spring onions. Delicious as a filling for sandwiches with watercress, or as a topping for jacket potatoes.

  That golden mash looks superb, I might make that as part of another dish as well...

  I made the mash and served it with a prawn and vegetable curry. It was really nice and the colour was lovely. Will make again some time with the tamarind chicken

  This was really easy to make and tasted fantastic. A great week night dinner but also one for when you've got friends round!

  Have to say, I didn't particularly enjoy this dish. Found the potatoes quite rich and found the tamarind with the chicken to be an unnecessary flavour? Hubby didn't really like this either. Easy to make though!

  First time I tried this recipe I followed it exactly, found I lost half the coating from the chicken when it was turned over in the grill pan and found the mash to be a bit sharp. Tried it a second time, grilled the bottom of the chicken first then put the mango & tamarind coating on the top when I turned it, used some butter with the curry paste when mashing instead of yoghurt, really good! Will definitely make again. The chicken would be great with salad too.

  Ugh yuk, didn't suit my taste buds at all. Cost me £5+ to purchase the ingredients, not including the chicken, which made it a costly meal for one. It taxed the patience of Sainsbury's staff to locate the tamarind paste, but we got there in the end. Heeded Paula's advice re mash but used creme fraiche rather than yoghurt. In fairness the mash was OK and would use this again, but the tamarind/mango mix ruined a chicken breast, thank goodness I only coated the upper side. One man's meat is another man's poison springs to mind....
