One Pot Spiced Chicken Rice with Beans, Cauliflower & Yoghurt

Prepare Ingredients:

Wash the fresh produce. Peel and small dice ¾ of the onion (you will have left over). Trim and discard ends off beans and cut in half. Cut cauliflower into bite size florets. Pick coriander leaves and roughly chop, discarding stems. Pat chicken dry with paper towel and dice into 1½ cm pieces.

Cook Aromatics:

Heat olive oil (enough to cover the base) in a deep sided pan over medium high heat. Add the onion, garam masala and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes or until starting to soften.

Add Chicken & Brown:

Add diced chicken to the pan and cook 2 minutes to sear. Add chicken stock concentrate and tomato paste. Continue to stir, another 2 minutes, until the chicken starts to colour. (Tip: add a drizzle of oil if the pan looks too dry).

Add Rice:

Once chicken has coloured, add the rice and stir to coat the grains of rice in the spice and oil. Add 300 ml water and bring to the boil over a high heat.

Add Vegetables:

Add the green beans, cauliflower florets and raisins. Cover with a lid, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 12 min or until the water has absorbed and the rice has cooked. (Tip: add a little water if the rice is not cooked or the mixture is too dry).

You Plate It:

Stir through coriander leaves (reserving some for garnish) and serve chicken biryani with a dollop of Greek yoghurt on top. Enjoy!
