Preparation
1
Boil the Rice

  • Rinse the rice to remove excess starch.
  • Pour 300ml cold salted water (per 2P) 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.
  • Keep covered for 10 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).

2
Fry the Chicken

  • Meanwhile, place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Once hot, add the chicken and season with salt and pepper
  • Cook until browned all over, 5-6 mins. Turn occasionally. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. 

TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging we use to keep it fresh.

3
Add the Flavour

  • Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
  • Once the chicken has browned, add the korma paste, garlic and tandoori masala mix to the pan.
  • Mix well and cook until fragrant, 1 min.

4
Simmer the Sauce

  • Next, stir in the stock and 100ml water (per 2P).
  • Bring to the boil, then lower the heat so the sauce comes to a simmer. 
  • Simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 3-4 mins. IMPORTANT: Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

5
Finishing Touches

  • Once the chicken is cooked, stir in the creme fraiche, mango chutney and a knob of butter.
  • Add the spinach to the pan—a handful at a time—until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins.
  • Remove from the heat. Add a splash more water if you feel the sauce is too thick. 
  • Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.

6
Divide and Serve

  • Fluff up the rice with a fork and divide between plates.
  • Spoon over the tandoori chicken masala.
  • Sprinkle over the crispy onions to finish.
