Step 1: You will need

  • 45 ml olive oil
  • 1 medium onion
  • 400 g chicken fillet
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1 green chilli
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp turmeric
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • ¼ tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp tomato purée
  • ¼ tsp garam masala or 1 tsp curry paste
  • 30 ml double cream
  • 1 Teaspoon
  • 1 Tablespoon
  • 1 Chopping board for meat
  • 1 Chopping board for vegetables
  • 1 Sharp knife
  • 1 Non-stick frying pan
  • some Plates to hold the ingredients
  • 1 Wooden spoon
  • Serves:
  • 1
  • Preparation Time:
  • 5 minutes
  • Cooking Time:
  • 10 minutes
  1. Step 2: Prepare

    Finely chop a medium sized onion

    Remember- when preparing ingredients, the smaller you chop things, the faster they cook. Chop your ingredients really small, so they'll be ready in no time.

    Crush 2 cloves of garlic with the side of a knife. Now peel away the skin, and finely chop.

    Finely chop a green chilli. Unless you want an incredibly hot curry, use the knife to take out as many seeds as you can. Chilli juices can burn your skin so when you've finished, wash your hands.

    Take the chicken on a fresh chopping board. Chop into small bite-size pieces. Wash your hands after chopping the meat.

  2. Step 3: Fry the onion

    Heat a frying pan over a medium heat. Add 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Then add the chopped onion, and fry for 1 minute.

  3. Step 4: Add chicken

    Put the chicken in, and continue to fry for 5 to 6 minutes. The chicken will start to cook, and turn entirely white on the outside.

  4. Step 5: Add garlic and chilli

    Put the garlic and chilli into the pan, and stir. Carry on frying gently over a medium heat, until everything is golden brown, which will take 2 to 3 minutes. Keep stirring.

  5. Step 6: Add spices

    Put 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin and 1/4 teaspoon of ground coriander in the pan. Stir well.

  6. Step 7: Add more flavour

    Add 1 teaspoon of tomato purée, and 1/4 teaspoon of garam masala or curry paste. Here we're using freshly made garam masala.

    Stir, and fold 2 generous tablespoons of double cream into the mixture.

  7. Step 8: Check the chicken

    If you're worried about whether the chicken is cooked, take a large piece from the pan, and cut it in half. It should break easily, and be white all the way through, with no trace of pink. It should also be piping hot throughout.

  8. Step 9: Serve

    Serve hot with freshly cooked basmati rice, or naan bread.

    Enjoy!

How to make chocolate brownies


Chocolate Brownies Recipe. The Art of Hospitality School specializes in making food with kids - that's healthy and fun to cook. This is Chef Sally Kuhrt's delicious chocolate Brownies Recipe.

Step 1: You will need…


  • 250 g caster sugar
  • 180 g plain chocolate drops
  • 180 g soft butter
  • 110 g plain flour
  • 1 vanilla extract
  • 3 eggs
  • some butter for greasing
  • 150 g walnuts
  • baking parchment
  • baking tin
  • oven gloves
  • heatproof bowl
  • small saucepan
  • wooden spoon
  • large mixing bowl
  • teaspoon
  • tablespoon
  • spatula
  • whisk
  • sharp knife
  • pallet knife
  • Serves:
  • 10
  • Oven Temperature:
  • 160° c - 320° f
  1. Step 2: Prepare

    Grease the side of the tin by rubbing with a kitchen towel dipped in a little soft butter. Line with a square of baking parchment.

    Turn on the oven, and set it to 160 degrees Celsius, or 320 degrees Fahrenheit.

  2. Step 3: Chocolate & Butter

    Fill the saucepan with a little water, and sit a heat proof bowl on top. The bottom of the bowl should not touch the water, and definitely not the bottom of the saucepan. Remove some of the water if this is the case.

    Cut the butter up into small pieces. Place them in the bowl and add the chocolate.

  3. Step 4: Heat

    Put the saucepan over a low heat. Make sure the saucepan handle is facing away from you, so you don't knock it. The chocolate and butter will gently melt over about 10 minutes. Don't be tempted to stir! This will solidify the chocolate, and you won't be able to melt it again after that.

  4. Step 5: Cool

    When completely melted, stir gently with a wooden spoon. Turn off the heat, remove the bowl from the pan and leave it to cool.

  5. Step 6: Eggs, Sugar, Vanilla

    Put the 3 eggs, 250 grams of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract into a large bowl. Whisk together

  6. Step 7: Add chocolate

    Fold in the cooled chocolate mixture

  7. Step 8: Add remaining ingredients

    Now add 110 grams of plain flour. Use a method called cutting and folding to mix it, moving the spoon in a figure of 8. This helps to keep the mixture light and airy. If you would like, add 150g chopped walnuts, again using the cutting and folding action.

  8. Step 9: Bake

    Put the mixture in a tin and smooth the top over evenly. Bake at 160 degrees Celsius for 20 to 30 minutes. If you can, set a timer to make sure they don't over cook. Check after 20 minutes. The chocolate brownies should still be soft but not springy.

  9. Step 10: Cool

    Remove the chocolate brownies from the oven and leave to cool in the tin for at least 30 minutes.

  10. Step 11: Serve the chocolate brownies

    Cut into squares with a sharp knife. Lift the baking parchment from the tin, and use a pallet knife to transfer the chocolate brownies to a serving plate.
