  1. GOLDEN RICE

    Place a pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry ¾ of the diced Onion until golden, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). In the final minute, add the golden rub. Add the rinsed rice and 150ml of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, 8-10 minutes. Remove from the heat and steam with the lid on, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork, cover and set aside.

  2. PREP STEP

    Boil the kettle. In a bowl, loosen the yoghurt with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Set aside. Submerge the Peas in boiling water until plump, 2-3 minutes. Drain, place in a salad bowl, and set aside.

  3. BUTTERY CHICKY

    Place a pan (that has a lid) over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the Chicken breast dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the chicken on one side until golden, 2-4 minutes. Flip, cover with the lid, and fry until cooked through, 2-4 minutes. During the final 1-2 minutes, baste with a knob of butter. Remove from the heat and rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.

  4. SIMPLE SIDE SALAD

    To the salad bowl with the Peas, add the shredded leaves, the diced Tomato, the remaining onion (to taste), a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning. Toss until combined.

  5. WINNER Chicken DINNER

    Make a bed of the turmeric rice. Top with the sliced Chicken drizzled with the yoghurt. Side with the fresh salad and sprinkle over the chopped coriander. Time to dine, Chef!
