Instructions
1
- Pour 300ml cold salted water (double for 4p) into a medium pot with a tight-fitting lid.
- Stir in the rice and bring to the boil.
- Once boiling, lower the heat to medium, cover, and cook for 10 mins.
- Remove from the heat and leave aside for 10 mins or until ready to serve (keep covered so the rice can continue to cook in its own steam).
2
- Halve chilli lengthways. Discard core and seeds. Finely chop.
- Halve, peel and chop onion into small pieces.
- Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Add chicken and half the onion along with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. Fry until chicken is golden brown, 6-8 mins.
TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to vacuum packing used to keep it fresh.
3
- When the chicken has browned, add the chilli (use less if you don't like spice) and North Indian spice mix to the pan and fry for 1 min.
- Spoon in the peanut butter along with 100ml water (double for 4p).
- Mix well and cover. Simmer for 4-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the yoghurt.
- Allow to warm through then taste and season with salt and pepper.
4
- While the sauce simmers, trim half the cucumber (double for 4p) then quarter lengthways. Chop widthways into small pieces.
- Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all).
- Chop the lime into 4 wedges.
- Cut the tomato into 2cm chunks.
5
- To a medium bowl add the chopped cucumber, tomato and remaining chopped onion.
- Season to taste with salt, pepper and lime juice then stir together.
6
- Serve the chicken with the salad and rice alongside.
- Top with chopped coriander and any remaining lime wedges.
