Cooking Steps

1

• Boil the kettle. • Half-fill a medium saucepan with the boiling water. Add basmati rice and a pinch of salt and cook, uncovered, over a high heat until tender, 12 minutes. • Drain the rice and return to saucepan. Add chicken-style stock powder and baby spinach leaves. Stir to combine. Cover and set aside. • In a medium bowl, combine Mumbai spice blend with a splash of water, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add chicken drumstick fillets, turning to coat.

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Add chicken thigh and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 10-14 minutes. • Meanwhile, roughly chop tomato and cucumber. Transfer to a medium bowl.

TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.

TIP: The spice blend will char slightly in the pan, this adds to the flavour!
