Instructions

Step 1

Place rice, 1/2 cup water and 1/4 tsp salt in a small saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 25 minutes. Remove from heat and stand for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

Step 2

Meanwhile, heat butter in a non-stick saucepan over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper and brown in butter for 2-3 minutes. Set chicken aside.

Step 3

To the same pan, add onion and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, or until translucent. Add garlic, cook for a minute, add tandoori paste and continue to cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add carrots, passata and stock and simmer for 3 minutes.

Step 4

Return chicken to pan and continue to simmer for another 5 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Remove from heat and stir through yoghurt.

Step 5

Divide rice and chicken between two bowls and top with fresh coriander to serve.
