As well as your basic cooking tools, you will need...
Pots
Rice Cooker (Optional)
Bowl
1 Prepare Ingredients
Peel and mince garlic. Dice chicken into bite sized pieces. Marinate chicken in 1 tbsp spice mix and half the minced garlic and ginger and marinate for 5 minutes.
Tip! You can do this ahead of time if it’s convenient.
2 Cook Rice
In a medium pot, bring 1 1⁄2 cups water to a boil. Stir in the rice; cover and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 12-15 minutes until all of the water is absorbed. Cover the pot and let the rice absorb the water off of the heat. Fluff the finished rice with a fork.
Tip! Taste the rice; if it is still too firm, add a few more tablespoons of water.
3 Make Butter Chicken
Heat a pan over medium high heat and add a drizzle of oil. Seal the chicken until coloured all over and almost cooked through, around 4 minutes. Set chicken aside for later.
4 Finish Butter Chicken
Add butter and remaining spices, garlic and ginger. Fry 2-3 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook 2-3 minutes. Add 1⁄2 a cup of water and simmer for 5 minutes. Return chicken to the pan and add cream, simmering for approx 5 minutes until sauce has thickened and chicken is cooked. Taste and season, adding sugar if extra sweetness is needed to round the flavour.
5 Cook Pappadums
Place pappadums on the microwave turntable, ensure they are not overlapping. Cook for 1 - 2 minutes. Keep an eye on them and when fully expanded stop the microwave or they can burn.
Tip! Alternatively you can fry these in oil. You can also spray them with oil before mircowaving but this is not recessary.
6 You Plate It
Pick and roughly chop coriander. Add most of the coriander to the curry. Adjust seasoning. Serve with rice, pappadums and remaining coriander.
