Chicken MARINADE & QUINOA
Pat the Chicken dry with some paper towel and place in a bowl. Add ½ tsp of butter chicken curry spice, some seasoning, and a drizzle of oil. Toss to coat and set aside to marinate. Rinse the quinoa, place in a pot, and submerge in 200ml of water. Place over a medium-high heat and bring to a simmer with the lid off. Cook for 12-15 minutes until the quinoa is fluffy and the tails have popped out. If it starts to dry out during the cooking process, add more water in small increments to continue. On completion, drain if necessary and return to the pot. Cover with a lid and allow to stand off the heat for 5 minutes.
TOAST THE ALMONDS
Place the flaked almonds in a pot over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden brown, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pot on completion and set aside to cool.
BUTTER Chicken CURRY BASE
Return the pot to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced Onion for 2-3 minutes until soft and translucent, shifting occasionally. Add the grated ginger and the remaining curry spice to taste. Fry for another minute until fragrant, shifting constantly. Stir in the cooked chopped tomatoes, the yoghurt, and 50ml of water. Bring to a simmer, pop on a lid, and cook for 10-12 minutes until thickened.
MAKE YOUR CRISP Cucumber SAMBAL
While the sauce is simmering, place the diced Cucumber in a bowl with three-quarters of the chopped coriander. Add a drizzle of olive oil and some seasoning to taste. Toss to combine and set aside for serving.
CURRY-POACHED Chicken
Once the sauce has thickened, stir through the rinsed baby spinach and marinated Chicken. Replace the lid and simmer for another 5-6 minutes until the chicken is cooked through, giving it a stir halfway. Season to taste and remove from the heat on completion.
