Rustic green chicken curry with irregular chicken pieces and loose cauliflower rice
TooGut pickFlexible, practical, genuinely delicious.

Low FODMAP cooking should replace flavour, not erase it. A quick homemade paste uses spring onion greens and garlic-infused oil, avoiding the onion and garlic solids hidden in many commercial curry pastes.

One step at a time

Let’s cook.

Tick each step as you go. Built-in timers keep the important moments close.

Pound the green paste

Blend chillies, lemongrass, ginger, spring onion greens, coriander stems, lime zest and half the oil into a coarse, vivid paste.

Brown the chicken

Heat remaining oil in a broad pan. Brown chicken in two batches so the irregular edges take on colour.

Fry before adding liquid

Cook the curry paste for 2 minutes until intensely fragrant. Add coconut milk and stock, scraping the pan clean.

Simmer gently

Return chicken, add beans and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes until the sauce thickens and the largest chicken piece is cooked through.

Keep the rice loose

Stir-fry cauliflower rice with infused oil for 5 minutes. Season the curry with lime juice and serve over the rice.
