Peel and finely chop half the onion. Set the other half aside. Peel and grate the ginger, garlic and turmeric. Finely chop the chilli, flicking out the seeds for less heat (this week's chillis pack much more of a punch than usual). Finely chop the coriander stalks, setting the leaves aside for later. Mix everything together with 1 tsp curry powder. This is your curry paste.

Finely slice the remaining onion and place in a bowl. Zest and juice the lemon into the bowl. Scrunch together with a pinch of salt and leave to marinate.

Crumble the stock cube into a jug and pour over 600ml boiling water. Stir to dissolve. Pour in the coconut milk and stir. Cut the chicken breast mini fillets into 2cm pieces.
