Ingredients

  • 3 cups Basmati rice (6 servings)
  • 6 boneless chicken thighs or roasted chicken shredded or cut into cubes
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic chopped
  • 28 ounces canned tomatoes
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons curry spice
  • 4 tablespoons Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • ¼ to ½ teaspoon Cayenne pepper or chili powder/flakes or to taste
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • ½ lemon juices

Instructions

  • Cook the basmati rice first. Remove from heat, fluff and cover when finished to keep warm.
  • Add the oil and the chopped onions to a skillet and sauté, stirring often, until tender and golden brown. Add the chopped garlic and continue to cook for another minute or two until the garlic is tender; stirring often.
  • Stir in the tomatoes, add the spices and the salt and pepper, stir until blended and simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Add the cooked chicken to the pan and continue simmering on low heat for another 10 minutes.
  • Add the yogurt or sour cream to the pan and mix thoroughly until warmed. Adjust amount to your preference.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings; squeeze in one or two squeezes of lemon juice to brighten the flavors and you're done!
  • Turn off the heat and cover. Allow to sit so the flavors meld a bit. Before serving, gently reheat if necessary and serve over basmati rice.
