Portions: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken thighs and legs ou 1 whole chicken
  • 1 package Tikka Marinade Paste
  • 1 large onion chopped or thinly sliced
  • 1 csp cumin grain
  • 2 cups basmati rice
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • Olive oil to taste
  • 1 handful minced coriander
  • Drops of lime to taste
  • Water to taste

Instructions

  • Start by washing the chicken well and set it aside. In case you opted for the whole chicken, cut it into pieces.
  • Chop the onion and place it in a pan with a good portion of olive oil. Let it simmer for a few minutes until the onion is soft and translucent.
  • Add the cumin grains and fry them lightly so that they release their aromas. They will start to make popcorn-like noises.
  • Add the chicken and let it cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally so that it starts to cook on all sides.
  • Add a little salt and pepper to season the chicken.
  • Add the Tikka Marinade Paste and stir well.
  • If necessary, add water to the pan to make the sauce more liquid. The water also helps in the cooking of the chicken.
  • Once the chicken is cooked, sprinkle with some coriander and turn off the heat. Cover the pan while you make the rice.
  • Wash the rice well, so no starch remains.
  • Add it to a pot with twice as much water and a little salt.
  • Once it starts boiling, turn the heat down to low and leave the pot ajar.
  • When the water evaporates, the rice is done. Turn off the heat and cover it for 10 min.
  • Serve the curry with basmati rice, sprinkle with more coriander, and add a few drops of lime.

Notes

A needed tip is about the rice. You can saute a little onion and fry the rice for a few seconds. Then just add the water and continue with the normal process. It will taste AMAZING!
You can also add 1 or 2 cinnamon sticks to the rice, which gives it a very nice aroma. 
If you want, you can add your own spices to the curry, although it's not necessary because it already has a lot of flavors.
