Cooking Steps

1

• Finely chop garlic. • In a medium saucepan, melt 1/2 the butter with a dash of olive oil over medium heat. Cook 1/2 the garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add basmati rice, the water(for the rice) and a generous pinch of salt, stir and 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 rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10 minutes. TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!

2

• Meanwhile, thinly slice carrot into half-moons. Roughly chop tomato. Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. • When oil is hot, cook carrot and chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned, 3-4 minutes.

3

• Reduce heat to medium-high, then add another drizzle of olive oil, tomato, tomato paste, mild sambal seasoning, ginger paste and remaining garlic. Cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add the water (for the sauce), chicken stock pot, the honey and a pinch of chilli flakes (if using). Simmer until sauce is slightly thickened and chicken is cooked through, 2-3 minutes. • Stir in baby spinach leaves and remaining butter until spinach is just wilted, 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.

4

• Pick mint leaves, then roughly chop. • Divide garlic rice between bowls. Top with mild chicken and tomato curry. • Top with Greek-style yoghurt. Garnish with mint and flaked almonds to serve. Enjoy! Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by sprinkling over the mint and almonds!
