Cooking Steps

1
1

• Finely chop garlic. In a medium saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. • Add half the garlic and cook, until fragrant, 1 minute. Add basmati rice, water and a generous pinch of salt, stir, then bring to the boil. • Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. • Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from heat and keep covered until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 10 minutes.

TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!

• When rice has 10 minutes remaining, in a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. • When oil is hot, cook chicken and green beans, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium-high. Add tomato, tomato paste, Mumbai spice blend and remaining garlic and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Stir in thickened cream and baby spinach leaves, until wilted and slightly reduced, 1-2 minutes.
