Cooking Steps
• In a medium saucepan, heat half the butter with a dash of olive oil over medium heat. • Add basmati rice, the water (for the rice) and a generous pinch of salt. Stir, then bring to the boil. • Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. • Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from heat and keep covered until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 10 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so don't peek!
• When the rice has 10 minutes remaining, roughly chop tomato. Drain and rinse half the chickpeas. • In a small heatproof bowl, combine half the garlic paste and a drizzle of olive oil. • Microwave, in 10 second bursts, until fragrant. Season with salt and pepper. • Cut chicken into 2cm chunks.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • When oil is hot, cook chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. • Add tomato, chickpeas, tomato paste (see ingredients), mild curry paste, Mumbai spice blend and the remaining garlic paste and butter, cook stirring, until softened and fragrant, 3-4 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium and stir in light cooking cream, the water (for the curry) and brown sugar and cook until combined and slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes. • Add baby spinach leaves and cook, stirring, until slightly wilted, 1 minute.
• Meanwhile, preheat grill to high. Brush garlic oil over one side of the flatbreads. • Place flatbreads directly on an oven wire rack and bake until golden, 3-5 minutes.
TIP: Spread flatbreads across two trays if it is getting crowded and toastx in batches!
• To the rice, add flaked almonds, stirring to combine. • Divide buttered-almond rice between bowls. • Spoon over creamy chicken, chickpea, tomato and spinach curry. • Top with Greek-style yoghurt and tamarind chutney. Serve with garlic flatbreads. Enjoy!
