Instructions
Step 1
• Cut chicken thighs into small cubes and cook them in a little avocado oil to get a good sear on them. Add about half a teaspoon of the listed spices
Step 2
• When the chicken is browned and all seasonings are incorporated, put the chicken on a plate and set aside.
Step 3
• In the same pan, add chopped onions, garlic paste, ginger paste and a cinnamon stick. If pan dries up a bit add a little more avocado oil.
Step 4
• Add about 2 table spoons of tomato paste and give it a good stir, then add about 1/4 cup of water and bring to a simmer.
Step 5
• Bring heat to a medium low and add half a cup of heavy whipping cream and a big spoonful of the coconut milk.
Step 6
• Add the chicken back into the pot and let everything simmer for about 15-20 minutes on low heat.
Step 7
• In another pot you want to add 1 cup of coconut milk and 2 cups of water. Add in 2 cups of clean basmati rice. (Optional: Add a sprinkle of cumin seeds.)
Step 8
• When the rice starts boiling, bring the heat down to a low simmer and cover the lid. Stir the rice every 10 minutes to make sure it’s evenly cooking.
Step 9
• When the liquid evaporates and the rice is fluffy it is ready.
