Cooking Steps
• Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks.
• Heat a large saucepan over high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook chicken, tossing, until just browned, 1-2 minutes. • Add soffritto mix and cook, stirring, until softened, 3-4 minutes. • SPICY! The curry paste is spicy so use a little less if you prefer your pilaf mild. Add Bengal curry paste (see ingredients) and Mumbai spice blend and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Add basmati rice and stir to coat. Add the water, chicken-style stock powder and the brown sugar. Stir, then bring to the boil. • Cover with a lid or foil and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove the pan from heat. Keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10 minutes. Stir through baby spinach leaves to wilt.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so don't peek!
• Divide one-pot Indian chicken and veggie pilaf between bowls. • Dollop with Greek-style yoghurt and tear parsley over to serve. Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavour: Many enjoyed the bold, authentic taste, though some found it mild. Adding extra spices or chilli boosted the flavour for those who preferred it spicier.
- Ease of prep: Quick and simple one-pot meal, though some had trouble with rice cooking times. Consider cooking rice separately for more consistent results.
- Suggestions: Try using chicken thighs instead of breast for juicier meat. Adding mango chutney or poppadoms could complement the dish nicely.
- Leftovers: Generous portions provided lunch for the next day. Some found the serving sizes too large for their needs.
- Spice level: Heat levels varied; adjust the amount of Bengal curry paste to suit your preference for a milder or spicier dish.
