TOMORROW is Father’s Day, and what better way to celebrate than with a home-made fakeaway.

Both of these recipes are amazingly easy to cook and your dad will be so grateful.

Remember to get a few beers in the fridge to go with you fakeaway to give him the special day he deserves! 

My batching top tip this week is to double or quadruple these recipes when you are making them.

It’s always handy to have a few fakeaway meals in the freezer for when you have the urge for a takeaway - it’ll save you so much money, plus it’s healthier.

Method:

Add a splash of oil to a large saucepan and, when hot, add the goan curry paste and cook for 1 minute to allow the flavours to come out.

Next add the chicken and brown it in the pan before adding the rest of the ingredients.

Bring the curry to the boil, then reduce to a simmer and leave to cook for 45 minutes.

Once cooked, remove from the heat and leave to cool.

Ready to freeze

Once cooled, pour into a reusable freezer bag, label and freeze flat.

Ready to eat 

Remove from the freezer and leave to defrost completely. Once defrosted, reheat until piping hot. Serve with rice for a delicious meal.
