Cooking Steps
• Finely chop garlic. • In a medium saucepan, melt butter with a dash of olive oil over a medium heat. Cook garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add basmati rice, the water (for the rice) and a generous pinch of salt. Stir, then bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid. • Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from heat. 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!
• Thinly slice brown onion. Cut zucchini into small chunks. Cut broccoli into small florets and roughly chop the stalk. • Thinly slice long red chilli (if using). • Drain and rinse chickpeas. • Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a high heat. Cook the chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. • Return pan to a high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook onion and zucchini until softened, 3-4 minutes. Add broccoli and chickpeas and cook until almost tender, 3-4 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium-high. Add Bengal curry paste and mild North Indian spice blend and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Return chicken (and any chicken resting juices) to the pan, then add coconut milk and the water (for the curry). Simmer until thickened slightly, 2-4 minutes.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
• Divide garlic rice between bowls. Top with Bengal chicken, chickpeas and veggie curry. • Tear over the coriander leaves. • Sprinkle with chilli to serve.
