Cooking Steps
Finely chop the garlic. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter with a dash of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the water and the salt. Bring to the boil then add the basmati rice. Reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from the heat and keep covered until the rice is tender and the water has absorbed, 10 minutes. TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!
While the rice is cooking, slice the chicken breast into thin strips. In a medium bowl, combine the tandoori paste and a drizzle of olive oil. Add the chicken strips, toss to coat and set aside to marinate.
Pick and finely chop the mint leaves. In a small bowl, combine the Greek-style yoghurt and 1/2 the mint. Season with salt and pepper and mix well. Set aside.
Roughly chop the tomato and the baby spinach leaves. In a second medium bowl, combine the tomato, baby spinach and remaining mint. Add the white wine vinegar and drizzle with olive oil. Season and toss to combine.
In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a high heat. When the oil is hot, cook the chicken, tossing, until the chicken is browned and cooked through, 4-5 minutes (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). TIP: Stand back! The paste can spatter while the chicken is cooking. Don't worry if your chicken gets a little charred during cooking. It adds to the flavour!
Divide the garlic rice and chicken tikka between bowls. Serve with the mint yoghurt, tomato salad and mango chutney.
