Step by step
Get ahead
Make up to 24 hours in advance and keep covered in the fridge.
- Cook the rice, covered, for 25 minutes. Drain and leave to stand for 5 minutes before fluffing up with a fork.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a medium saucepan set over a medium high heat and fry the onion for 8-10 minutes until soft and lightly golden. If it starts looking too dry, add a splash of water to the pan. Add the garlic, chilli, ginger and the chopped coriander stalks to the pan to cook for another minute before adding the spices adjusting the amount of curry powder according to your preferred heat level. Cook for a further minute until fragrant.
- Add the chopped tomatoes, apricots, stock and seasoning. Cover and simmer gently for 20 minutes to let the flavour develop. Add the turkey to heat through for 5 minutes, along with all but 1 tablespoon of the coriander leaves.
- While the curry is simmering, make the raita. Mix all of the raita ingredients together in a small bowl with most of the remaining coriander leaves and season well. Serve the curry on a bed of rice with extra coriander leaves, and the raita alongside.
