Make-up artist's eyeshadow trick to get 'Charlotte Tilbury' look for less money

• Two chicken breasts
• Half a butternut squash
• One chili
• One large onion
• 250ml (one cup) of canned tomatoes
• 250ml (one cup) of coconut milk
• 50g (⅓ cup) of frozen peas
• 30g (one cup) of fresh spinach
• 2.5cm (one inch) of ginger
• Two and a half teaspoons of garam masala
• Two tablespoons of chicken or vegetable stock
• Salt and pepper
• Vegetable oil (for cooking)

To start, cut the chicken into small slices, dice and grate the squash, onion and ginger. Place a frying pan on the stove over medium-high heat, then add a drizzle of oil to the pan and then add in your grated butternut squash.

Season the butternut squash with salt and pepper. Then stir in the garam masala. Add the onion to the pan and stir it well. Let the onion and butternut squash cook for one to two minutes. Roughly chop up the chilli and de-seed it for a less spicy curry if you prefer. Add in the grated ginger and allow to cook for one to two minutes.

Make a well in the middle of the frying pan so all the vegetables are cooking around the edge of the pan, and then add some oil into the centre of the pan, adding your diced chicken into the well.

Season the diced chicken well with salt and pepper and allow to cook for one to two minutes. While the chicken is cooking, add in the peas and cook for one more minute. Then, add in the canned tomatoes, coconut milk, and stock, then stir in the ingredients well until fully combined.

Bring the curry to a boil and allow it to simmer for four to five minutes until the chicken is fully cooked. Then, stir in the spinach and cook until it has fully wilted. Remove the frying pan from the heat and your delicious chicken curry is ready to serve. Simple, wasn't it?
