This was the first time I made something I was entirely new to, which was a challenge but I had a recipe to follow which made everything a bit easier.
First I had to blend lemon juice, curry powder and yoghurt to make the marinade for the chicken. However, I couldn't get my blender to work so I ended up using one of those electric whisks (the last time I'd used one of those was when I was a lazy cake-baker). The I chopped the chicken into random sized "curry chunks" and mixed them into the marinade. I love chopping chicken, I don't know what it is about it but it's always loads of fun.
I then had to chop an onion. I cried. It was just as bad as the lasagne onion. Me and my friend, Rachael, were inspired by my tears and started singing Flight of the Conchords "I'm Not Crying" and then various other songs by them, which was lots of fun :) After the onions had sufficiently ruined my face I put them in a pan to fry. I added more curry powder and next the marinated chicken which was all gloopy and ew. Once the chicken was cooked I added single cream and water and then we left the curry to its own business. Then, rice time! I always do rice to water 1:1.5 and that seems to work fine, hurray!
Everything was ready. Sarah had arrived and so we sat down for a Come Dine With Me style meal. We all gobbled it up and it wasn't spicy at all so that was good for me!

I would definitely make this again.
