Ingredients

300 g basmati rice
2 tbsp butter
1 large onion, finely sliced
1 bay leaf
4 cardamom pods
1 small cinnamon stick
1 tsp turmeric
500 g skinless chicken thighs, cut into chunks
3 tbsp balti curry paste
50 g golden raisins
750 ml chicken stock
20 g fresh coriander, chopped
2 tbsp toasted slivered almonds

Method

1
Soak the basmati rice in warm water for 10 minutes, then rinse in cold water until the water runs clear.
2
Heat 2 tbsp of butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the sliced onion, bay leaf, cardamom pods, and cinnamon stick. Cook for about 10 minutes until the onions are golden and soft.
3
Stir in 1 tsp of turmeric, then add the chicken thighs and balti curry paste. Cook for 5 minutes until the chicken is well coated and the spices are fragrant.
4
Add the rinsed rice and golden raisins to the pan, then pour in the chicken stock. Stir everything together.
5
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.
6
Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and mix in the chopped fresh coriander.
7
Serve the chicken biryani garnished with toasted slivered almonds.
