Method

How to cook it

Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the coconut and curry leaf elements, and pat the turkey dry so it colours well.

Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Turn up the heat and add the turkey. Fry until deeply crisp and golden, then drain on paper and season straight away.

Stir in the garam masala and the rest of the coconut and curry leaf flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.

Add the peas along with a splash of stock or water, then cook briskly until everything is tender and the sauce clings.

Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper and a little acid. It should taste bright, savoury and balanced.

Finish with the chopped curry leaves and serve while hot.

Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
