Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, 10-12 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover.
GOLDEN CHICKEN
Place a pot over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the chicken until golden and cooked through, 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from the pan, season, and set aside.
HURRY WITH THE CURRY
Return the pot to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the grated ginger and the curry paste until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Add the cooked chopped tomato, the rinsed chickpeas, and 150ml of water. Bring to a boil and simmer until thickened, 10-12 minutes (stirring occasionally). In the final 1-2 minutes, add the cooked chicken and simmer until heated through. Add ½ the picked coriander, a sweetener (to taste), and seasoning.
