Instructions
• Finely chop garlic. • In a medium saucepan, heat the butter with a dash of olive oil over medium heat. Cook half the garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add the water (for the rice), jasmine rice and a generous pinch of salt. Stir, then bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. • Cook for 12 minutes, then remove from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10-15 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!
• While the rice is cooking, thinly slice carrot into half-moons. Trim baby broccoli, then cut into bite-sized chunks. Drain and rinse chickpeas. • Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. • When oil is hot, cook chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a plate. • Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add carrot and cook until tender, 3-4 minutes. • SPICY! This is a mild curry paste, but use less if you're sensitive to heat! Add remaining garlic, tomato paste, Bengal curry paste, Mumbai spice blend and vegetable stock powder. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add chickpeas and water (for the curry) and stir to combine. Simmer until thickened, 2-3 minutes.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
• Add cream (see ingredients), baby broccoli and the brown sugar to the pan. Simmer until veggies are tender, 5-6 minutes.
• Stir through cooked chicken and baby leaves until wilted, 2 minutes. Season to taste.
• Divide garlic rice between bowls and top with creamy Indian chicken and chickpea curry. • Tear over mint and garnish with crushed peanuts to serve. Enjoy!
