Spinach, fresh, sautéed344.3 g
Yogurt, plain, low-fat (for marinade)344.3 g

Instructions

1

Marinate the chicken breast in yogurt, turmeric, ginger-garlic paste, and a pinch of salt for 30 minutes.

2

In a heavy-bottomed pot, sear the chicken until the exterior is lightly browned and aromatic.

3

Layer the partially cooked basmati rice over the chicken, sprinkling with saffron-infused milk, mint, and cilantro.

4

Seal the pot with a tight-fitting lid (traditionally using dough) to steam-cook over low heat for 15-20 minutes, allowing the aromatics to perfume the rice.

5

Once the rice is tender and the chicken is fully cooked, fluff carefully with a fork to maintain the integrity of the grains.

6

Serve on a warm plate, topped with crispy fried onions and a side of fresh spinach to round out the meal.
