You'll need

Step by step this way
  • 1.

    Put a large pan of salted water on to boil. Scrub the potato and chop it into bite-sized pieces. When the water is boiling, add the potato and simmer for 20 mins till tender when pierced with a knife.

  • 2.

    While the spud simmers, chop the chicken breast mini fillets into bite-sized pieces and pop them into a bowl. Add 1 tbsp garam masala and ½ tbsp olive oil. Season with a pinch of salt and turn to coat the chicken in the spices. Set aside.

  • 3.

    Peel and finely slice the onion. Halve the green pepper, scoop out the seeds and white pith, and slice the pepper into batons. Chop the tomatoes into 8 wedges each.

  • 4.

    Warm a wok or deep frying pan on a high heat for 2 mins. Add the chicken and fry for 8 mins, stirring often, to brown it all over. Scoop the browned chicken out onto a plate.

  • 5.

    Add the onion and green pepper to the pan. Stir fry for 5 mins till the veg start to soften and pick up a little colour. While the veg cook, peel and grate the garlic and ginger.

  • 6.

    The potato should be cooked by now, so drain and add it to the pan along with the tomatoes, garlic and ginger. Stir fry for 5 mins till all the veg have picked up a little colour and the tomatoes are soft and pulpy.

  • 7.

    Add the chicken back to the pan, along with any juices from the plate. Cook for 2-3 mins, tossing occasionally, to warm everything through.

  • 8.

    Meanwhile, toss the lamb’s lettuce with 2 tsp olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.

  • 9.

    Divide the pan-fry between 2 warm bowls and serve with the lamb’s lettuce on the side, topped with dollops of yogurt.
