Chicken pieces are fried in this heavenly spice blend before being tossed in basmati rice. The entire dish is then dolloped with creamy tzatziki. This one is very lekker, we guarantee it!

NICE RICE, CHEF!
Place the rice in a pot with 300ml [500ml]|#7DA0D7 of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, 25-30 minutes. Drain (if necessary) and cover.
HERB STATION & Chicken PREP
Place ½ of the coriander on a chopping board along with the garlic. Finely chop until combined in a chunky paste. Set aside. Pat the Chicken dry and cut it into strips.
BIG ON FLAVOUR
Place a pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Once hot, add the onion, the NOMU rub, and the whole spice mix. Fry until the onion is soft, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the coriander paste, the Chicken, and a pinch of salt. Fry until fragrant, 2-3 minutes (shifting regularly). Add the rice and gently toss for 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Cover with a lid, and set aside to dry out for 10 minutes (there should be no liquid remaining). Remove from the heat, discard the cinnamon stick, and season.
PLATE IT UP!
Dish up the fragrant breyani alongside the Tomato. Dollop over the Tzatziki and garnish with the remaining coriander. Eat and be merry, because you earned it! (And watch out for those sneaky cardamom pods.)
