Chicken Tikka Masala with Basmati Rice & Green Beans

Chicken Tikka Masala with Basmati Rice & Green Beans

By Javier Cuesta

Total: 45 minutes
IndianMain courseChicken dishes

Ingredients

  • 500 g Boneless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 400 g Tikka masala sauce
  • 150 g Greek yogurt
  • 200 g Basmati rice
  • 200 g Green beans
  • 4 cloves Garlic
  • 1 inch Ginger
  • 1 medium Onion
  • 2 tbsp Cooking oil
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper
  • 400 ml Water
  • a small bunch Cilantro (for garnish)
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice

Instructions

1

Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, minced ginger, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken pieces and coat well. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

2

Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This will remove excess starch.

3

In a pot, bring 400 ml of water to a boil. Add the rinsed basmati rice and a pinch of salt. Cover and reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 12-15 minutes until rice is tender and water is absorbed.

4

While the rice is cooking, heat 1 tbsp of cooking oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add marinated chicken and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.

5

In the same pan, add another tbsp of oil and stir fry the chopped onion until translucent. Add minced garlic and ginger; sauté for another 2 minutes.

6

Pour in the tikka masala sauce. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Add the cooked chicken back to the pan, stirring to coat the chicken in the sauce. Simmer for another 10 minutes.

7

Meanwhile, steam the green beans until just tender. Alternatively, you can blanch them in boiling water for 3-4 minutes, then plunge into ice water to keep them bright green.

8

Once everything is cooked, serve the chicken tikka masala over a bed of basmati rice, with green beans on the side. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lemon juice.
