BEGIN WITH THE BASMATI
Place the rinsed rice in a pot with 200ml 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.
FRY THE Chicken
Place a pot over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the Chicken pieces until golden but not cooked through, 1-2 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pot and set aside.
COOK THE CURRY BASE
Return the pot to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onion until soft, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the grated garlic, the grated ginger, and the Chicken spice mix. Fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Add the cooked chopped tomato and 200ml of water. Simmer until thickened, 13-15 minutes (stirring occasionally).
A DREAMY CREAMY SAUCE
Once the sauce has thickened, stir through the Cream and simmer until starting to thicken again, 5-6 minutes. In the final 1-2 minutes, add the fried Chicken pieces. Loosen with a splash of water, if necessary. Add a sweetener and seasoning.
