Chicken Bhuna Curry Recipe

You'll need a couple of hours to prepare the recipe and another 30 minutes to cook. It'll feed 4 people, and it's worth it!
Curry ingredients:
4 chicken breasts, 6 tbsp plain natural yoghurt, 2 garlic cloves, 1 tsp garam masala, 1 lemon, tsp turmeric, 1 tbsp paprika, 3 cardamoms, tbsp salt, 1 tbsp ground chilli, 1 tbsp cumin, vegetable oil, olive oil, fresh coriander.
Pilau rice ingredients:
2 cups basmati rice, 1 onion, 1 clove of garlic, cinnamon stick, 2 cardamom pods, 1 tbsp fennel seeds, vegetable oil.
Method: Preparing the Chicken
1. Prepare the spices - crush the garlic into a bowl with the garam masala, turmeric, paprika and cumin. Remove the husk from the cardamoms and add this, as well as the chilli, cumin and salt. Mix together before pouring over the yoghurt.
2. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice into the mixture. Stir together well.
3. Cut the chicken into small chunks and put into the bowl. Use your hands to completely cover the chicken pieces in your marinade.
Method: The Pilau Rice
1. Put a saucepan over a medium heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Finely chop the onion and once sufficiently hot, add to the pan and fry.
2. Add the rice to the pan once it has been washed thoroughly with cold water. Add in the garlic (crushed), cinnamon, fennel seeds and cardamom. Pour cold water over the rice until it's totally covered and turn up the heat.
3. Once the water begins to boil allow it to do so for a further 5 minutes. After this time, put the lid on the saucepan, turn off the heat and allow it to settle for 20 minutes.
Method: The Curry
1. Pour a tablespoon of olive oil into a frying pan and place over a high heat. Once the pan is hot add the chicken and fry until you're happy the chicken has been cooked through.
2. Add a little garam masala and coriander to the pan with the chicken and fry for another 1/2 minute or so.
3. Put the rice around the edge of 4 plates and add the chicken in the middle - just the way my mum used to! Serve with a naan bread to mop up any leftovers.
