Utensils

•Pot with Lid

Instructions

Make the Rice
1
  • Pour 300ml cold salted water (per 2P) into a medium pot with a tight-fitting lid.
  • Stir in the rice and bring to the boil.
  • Once boiling, lower the heat to medium and cover with the lid.
  • Leave to cook for 10 mins, then remove the pot from the heat.
  • Keep covered for another 10 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).
Get Prepped
2
  • Meanwhile, halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces.
  • Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all).
Soften the Onion
3
  • Place a large pot over medium heat with 2 tbsp butter (per 2P) and a drizzle of oil.
  • Once hot, fry the onion until softened, stirring occasionally, 4-5 mins.
  • Add the North Indian spice mix and korma paste and cook until fragrant, 1 min.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
Fry the Chicken
4
  • Add the chicken to the onion and season with salt and pepper.
  • Fry until golden brown on the outside and cooked through, 8-10 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging used to keep it fresh. It will still taste delicious once cooked!

Simmer the Sauce
5
  • Add the passata, creme fraiche and 25ml water (per 2P).
  • Simmer until sauce is slightly reduced, 7-9 mins.
  • Season to taste with salt, pepper and sugar.

TIP: Add a splash of water if you feel the sauce needs loosening.

Garnish and Serve
6
  • Fluff up the rice with the fork and divide between bowls.
  • Serve the butter chicken alongside the rice.
  • Garnish with a sprinkling of cashews and coriander.
