1/2 tsp Turmeric
1 tbsp Tomato Purée
400g Passata or tinned Tomatoes that have been blended
1/2 Lime, juiced
Fresh Coriander, chopped
15g Butter or Ghee
1 Onion, finely sliced
3 Garlic Cloves, sliced
200g Basmati Rice, soaked for 30 mins then rinsed
1 tsp Turmeric
3 Cardamom Pods
2 Cloves
500ml Vegetable Stock (made using 1 vegetable stock cube)
325g Self-Raising Flour

5g Fresh Coriander, chopped

Method

1
Mix the chopped chicken breast with the yoghurt, 1 tsp garam masala and 1 tsp smoked paprika. Leave to marinate in the fridge for 1 hr.
2
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large frying pan or wok and fry the onion wedges and peppers for 3–4 mins or until just starting to pick up a little colour but are still firm. Set aside.
3
Pour another 1 tbsp oil into the same pan and fry the chicken on all sides until any liquid has evaporated and the chicken is starting to stick to the pan – about 8–9 mins. You may want to do this in batches. Once cooked, set the chicken aside. Clean out the pan if needed or use a clean one.
4
Return the pan to the heat and reduce the heat to make the sauce. Add 1 tsp butter or ghee then tip in the onion and cook for 5–6 mins or until starting to soften. Add the ginger, garlic and 1 tsp garam masala along with the rest of the spices. Cook for 1 min, then add the tomato purée, passata and 100ml water. Mix well and bring to a simmer. Stir in the cooked chicken and simmer gently, covered, for 20 mins. Keep warm until serving.
5
Meanwhile, prepare the rice. Heat 15g butter or ghee in a large saucepan and fry the onion for about 10 mins or until starting to char at the edges. Add the garlic and fry for 1–2 mins, then add the rinsed rice, turmeric, cardamom and cloves. Stir and add the stock. Bring to the boil and simmer for 10–15 mins. Cover with a lid off the heat for 10 mins. Once cooked, fluff the rice with a fork.
6
While the rice cooks you can make the flatbreads. Stir the flour and yoghurt together. Separate into 8 balls and dust with a bit more flour. Leave to rest for 5 mins then pat or roll into round or oval shapes around 5mm thick. Fry in a dry pan for 3–4 mins each side or until charred patches appear. Keep warm by wrapping in a clean tea towel or in a foil-covered tray. Put the butter or ghee in a small pan, heat gently until melted then add the garlic. Cook for 1–2 mins then remove from the heat. Drizzle the garlic butter over the flatbread, then scatter the chopped coriander on top.
7
To finish the jalfrezi, warm up on the hob then stir in the lime juice, remaining garam masala and stir-fried vegetables. Season, mix well to warm through then serve with rice and flatbreads.
