  1. READY THE RICE

    Place the rinsed rice in a pot with 300ml of salted water. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, 25-30 minutes. Drain (if necessary) and cover.

  2. SOME PREP

    Place ½ the coriander and the grated garlic on a chopping board. Finely chop to form a chunky paste. Set aside.

  3. FRYING TIME

    Place a pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Once hot, fry the diced onion, the NOMU rub, and the whole spice mix until the onion is soft and translucent, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the coriander paste, the chicken chunks, a knob of butter, and seasoning. Fry until fragrant, 2-3 minutes (shifting regularly).

  4. DELICIOUS BREYANI

    Add the cooked rice to the pot with the chicken mix and gently toss, 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat, cover, and set aside to dry out for 10 minutes. There should be no liquid remaining. Remove and discard the cinnamon stick. Season.

  5. CORIANDER YOGHURT

    Finely chop the remaining coriander and place in a bowl with the yoghurt. Mix until combined and season.

  6. PLATE IT UP!

    Dish up the fragrant breyani alongside the diced tomato. Dollop over the herby yoghurt. Eat and be merry, because you earned it! (And watch out for those sneaky cardamom pods.)
