Cooking Steps

Cook the rice
1

• Add the water to a medium saucepan and bring to the boil.
• Add jasmine rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low.
• Cook for 10 minutes, then remove pan from heat and 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!  

Get prepped
2

• Finely chop garlic. Thinly slice long chilli (if using). Thinly slice cucumber into 
rounds. Cut tomato into wedges. Remove centre veins from makrut lime leaves, 
then very thinly slice.
• Cut chicken thigh into 2cm chunks.
• In a large bowl, combine chicken, one-step coater and tamarind seasoning, 
tossing to coat.

Cook the chicken
3

• In a large frying pan, heat enough olive oil to coat the base over high heat. 
• When oil is hot, dust off any excess flour from chicken and cook, tossing 
occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a paper 
towel-lined plate.
• Wipe out the frying pan, then return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive 
oil. Cook garlic and makrut lime leaves until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Remove from heat, then add chilli jam and a splash of water, stirring to combine.  
Add cooked chicken, tossing to coat. 

Finish & serve

• Divide rice between bowls. Top with tomato, cucumber and swicy tamarind and 
chilli jam fried chicken.
• Garnish with crispy shallots and chilli to serve. Enjoy!
