Cooking Steps
• Grate carrot. Roughly chop roasted cashews. • Cut chicken thigh into 2cm chunks. • In a medium bowl, combine mild North Indian spice blend, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt. • Add chicken, turning to coat.
• In a large saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. • When oil is hot, cook chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through (when no longer pink inside), 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
• Wipe out saucepan and return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook carrot, stirring, until tender, 2-3 minutes. • Add Bengal curry paste (see ingredients) and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Stir in currants, basmati rice, the water and chicken stock pot, then bring to the boil. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 12 minutes, then remove pan from heat. • Keep covered until rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 15 minutes. TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so don't peek!
• Once rice has finished cooking, stir through cooked chicken and baby spinach leaves until wilted and combined. Season to taste.
• Divide chicken and veggie biryani between bowls. • Top with Greek-style yoghurt. Tear over coriander (including stalk!). • Sprinkle over flaked cashews to serve. Enjoy!
