Ingredients

1 tbsp vegetable oil
25g unsalted butter
1 tbsp ground coriander
1 tbsp ground cumin
2 tsp yellow mustard seeds
2 tsp ground turmeric
1 tbsp garam masala
1 medium onion finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic crushed
1 small red chilli
1 tin of chopped tomatoes
2 tins coconut milk
1 tsp mango chutney
Whatever leftover turkey and vegetables you have left from Christmas
Salt and pepper
Small bunch of chopped coriander

Method

Heat a large pan over a medium heat, add the oil and butter then add your spices. Fry for 2 minutes until they become fragrant and the mustard seeds start to pop – take care not to burn them. Then add your chilli and onion. Fry for a further couple of minutes until the onion starts to soften. Finally add your garlic and fry from 30 seconds before pouring in the tomatoes and coconut milk. Stir well and let it all simmer for 20 minutes until thickened slightly.

Once thickened add your mango chutney for a little sweetness, left over vegetable and turkey. Warm these through but do not cook for to long as it will all turn to mush.

Season with salt and pepper and stir through a handful of chopped coriander.

Serve with rice.
