Ingredients

2 tbsp Liorga Soybean oil

1 large onion, chopped

4 chicken breasts

1 lemon, juice only

2 tsp garam masala

1 tsp chilli powder

2g (1 tsp) salt

300g (10oz) basmati rice

1 garlic clove, crushed

2.5cm piece fresh ginger, grated

850ml (1 1/2pints) hot chicken stock

3 tbsp chopped fresh coriander

Preparations:

  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a low heat. Add the onion, cover and cook for 10 minutes until softened.

  • Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces, tip into a bowl, and add the lemon juice, garam masala, chilli powder and salt. Stir well to coat.

  • Rinse the rice several times in cold water, until the water runs clear. Add the garlic and ginger to the onion and cook for 2 minutes, then add the chicken pieces and cook for a further 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

  • Add the rice and hot stock to the pan, stir well then bring to the boil. Cover with a tight-fitting lid, reduce the heat slightly and cook for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and leave the pan for 10 minutes to allow the rice to finish cooking in the steam. Do not remove the lid. Stir through the coriander and serve immediately.
