Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. • Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water. Add basmati rice and a pinch of salt and cook, uncovered, over a high heat until tender, 12 minutes. • Meanwhile, combine Mumbai spice blend, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add chicken thigh, turning to coat. • Drain cooked rice and return to saucepan. Add butter and baby spinach leaves. Stir to combine. Cover and set aside.
If you have received chicken breast, place your hand flat on top of the chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. In a medium bowl, combine with Mumbai spice blend, a drizzle of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Add the chicken steaks and cook until cooked through, 3-5 minutes each side.
• When chicken has 5 minutes remaining, reduce heat to low, then add mild curry paste. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add coconut milk and the water and simmer, stirring, until thickened slightly, 1-2 minutes. • Remove from heat. Season to taste.
• Combine tomato and cucumber with a drizzle of white wine vinegar. Season to taste. • Divide spinach rice between bowls. Top with Indian-style chicken, pouring over any remaining curry sauce from the pan. • Top with crushed peanuts. Serve with tomato and cucumber salad.
