1 tbsp cold water
50 g (1.8 oz) frozen peas or petit pois defrosted in hot tap water and drained

Instructions

Cook the chicken and fries either in the oven or air fryer, according to packet instructions. In the oven, fries are normally cooked at 220C/200C fan/gas 7 for 15 to 18 minutes, and in the air fryer at 180C for 10 to 15 minutes. In the oven, chicken bites are normally cooked at 200C/180C fan/gas 6 for 16 minutes, and in the air fryer at 160C for 10 to 12 minutes.
While the chicken and fries are cooking, make the curry sauce (or make ahead and reheat on the hob) – heat the oil in a medium saucepan over a medium heat. Add the onion and pepper and cook for 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
Next, add the curry powder, turmeric, sugar and salt and stir for 1 minute.
Pour in the stock, stirring constantly to combine with the vegetables and seasonings.
In a small bowl combine the cornflour with the light soy and cold water and stir until the cornflour is dissolved. Stir the cornflour slurry into the curry mixture and simmer for 5 minutes, then add the peas and cook for 2 minutes. Check the seasoning and add more, to taste, if required.
To assemble, share the fries between 2 bowls, top with the chicken, pour over the curry sauce and garnish with spring onions.

The curry sauce can be made ahead and reheated in the pan when you’re ready to serve.
