  1. BASMATI RICE

    Place the rinsed rice in a pot with 150ml of salted water. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, 8-10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover.

  2. CARROTS & KALE

    Place a pan (with a lid) over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. When hot, fry the carrot pieces until starting to brown and soften, 5-8 minutes. Add the shredded kale, ¼ of the diced onion, and fry until soft, and wilted, 3-4 minutes. Remove from the pan, season, and cover.

  3. BASTING SAUCE

    Boil the kettle. In a bowl, combine the buttermilk and the mustard.

  4. CHICKEN

    Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the chicken on one side until golden, 3-4 minutes. Flip, cover, and fry until cooked through, 3-4 minutes. During the final 1-2 minutes, baste the chicken with a knob of butter and the basting sauce. Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.

  5. MADRAS SAUCE

    Dilute the stock with 30ml of boiling water. While the chicken is cooking, place a clean pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the remaining diced onion and the curry powder (to taste) and fry until golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Stir in the diluted stock and the vinegar & jam mixture, and simmer until reduced and slightly thickened, 4-6 minutes (stirring occasionally). Remove from the heat and mix through the crème fraîche and seasoning. Add a splash of milk (optional) or water if the sauce is too thick.

  6. TIME TO EAT

    Plate up the fluffy rice, spoon over the madras sauce, and top with the chicken slices. Side with the carrot & kale mixture and garnish with the chopped parsley. Good job, Chef!
