Jamie says: "Pearly, white flaked fish simmered in a delicately spiced sauce – this is a quick and easy curry that cooks in the time it takes to boil the rice." See method

  1. Place a large saucepan on a medium heat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Peel and finely slice the garlic then add to the pan and cook for 1 minute until golden. Stir in the curry paste and cook for a further minute. Add the mango chutney and plum tomatoes, breaking them up with a spoon, and bring to the boil for 2 minutes. Leave to cool slightly then blitz with a hand blender until smooth.
  2. Return the pan to a medium heat, stir in the chickpeas (juice and all) and bring to the boil. Add the fish fillets and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes until opaque and cooked through. Ripple through 2 tablespoons yogurt, grate over a little lemon zest, squeeze in a little of the juice and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Spoon into bowls and top with a dollop of yogurt and some finely chopped coriander leaves and slices of chilli, if you like. Delicious served with steamed rice, naan and a fresh salad.

    Food waste tip: If you’ve got a glut of fresh, ripe tomatoes, roughly chop them and use instead of the tinned tomatoes – you might need to simmer for a few more minutes, until broken down and delicious.

Tip: The curry can be frozen in portions without the rice. Defrost and reheat to piping hot before serving.
