Cooking Steps
• Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks.
• Heat a large frying pan over high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook chicken, tossing, in batches, until just browned, 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. • Add soffritto mix, and cook, stirring, until softened, 3-4 minutes. • Add Bengal curry paste and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Add basmati rice to the saucepan and stir to coat. Add the water and brown sugar. Stir then bring to boil. • Cover with a lid or foil and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 12 minutes, then remove the pan from heat. Keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 15 minutes. Stir through baby spinach leaves to wilt. Season to taste.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!
• Divide one-pot chicken and Bengal-spiced rice between bowls. • Dollop with Greek-style yoghurt and tear coriander over to serve. Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on July 2026- Flavour: Most found the Bengal curry paste rich and aromatic, though several felt the overall flavour was mild and benefited from extra seasoning or mango chutney stirred through.
- Ease of prep: Reviewers consistently praised this as a quick, straightforward one-pot meal with minimal washing up.
- Suggestions: Many recommended swapping chicken breast for thighs to prevent dryness, and some found reducing the water slightly to around 750 ml helped avoid a wet or gluey texture. A few suggested adding raisins, flaked almonds, peas, or extra vegetables like zucchini for more variety and balance.
- Leftovers: Several customers enjoyed leftovers for lunch the next day and noted the dish reheats well.
- Portions: Servings were generous, with some customers finding there was plenty of rice relative to the protein and vegetables.
- Spice level: Opinions were divided — some adults found the heat just right, while several families with young children found it too spicy despite the kid-friendly tag; using less curry paste or stirring through coconut milk helped tone it down.
