  • 1 bag soffritto mix
  • 1 bag baby spinach leaves
  • 1 packet chicken breast
  • 0.5 packets bengal curry paste
  • 1 sachet mumbai spice blend
  • 1 packet basmati rice
  • 1.5 cup water
  • 1 sachet chicken-style stock powder
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • 1 packet greek-style yoghurt
  • 1 bag parsley
  • olive oil
  • 1 bag soffritto mix
  • 1 bag baby spinach leaves
  • 2 packets chicken breast
  • 1 packet bengal curry paste
  • 2 sachets mumbai spice blend
  • 1 packet basmati rice
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 sachet chicken-style stock powder
  • 2 tsp brown sugar
  • 1 packet greek-style yoghurt
  • 1 bag parsley

Instructions

  1. • Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks.
  2. • Heat a large saucepan over high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook chicken, tossing, until just browned, 1-2 minutes.
    • Add soffritto mix and cook, stirring, until softened, 3-4 minutes.
    • SPICY! The curry paste is spicy so use a little less if you prefer your pilaf mild. Add Bengal curry paste (see ingredients) and Mumbai spice blend and
    cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute.
  3. • Add basmati rice and stir to coat. Add the water,
    chicken-style stock powder and the brown sugar. Stir, then bring to the boil.
    • Cover with a lid or foil and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove the pan from heat. Keep covered until rice is tender and water
    is absorbed, 10 minutes. Stir through baby spinach leaves to wilt.
    TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so don't peek!
  4. • Divide one-pot Indian chicken and veggie pilaf between bowls.
    • Dollop with Greek-style yoghurt and tear parsley over to serve. Enjoy!
