A hearty and delicious dish of Rice cooked in with chicken gravy, a all in one meal. Rice soak up all the delicious juice of chicken and gravy yummm. Saves washing and time lol.

Simply make a gravy add chicken first then rice later all cooks together, perfect for quick meal. Perfect with drumsticks but you can also use chicken thighs.

Recipe is same as any gravy or curry sauce just add drumsticks first let it cook about 70%then add soaked and drained rice and cook until rice is done.

Ingredients: (serves 2)

• 2 medium onions, minced in food processor
• 1 tbsp ginger garlic paste
• 350 ml Passata or tinned tomatoes, but i prefer passata for curries
• 2 green chillies, finely chopped
• 1tsp cumin seeds
• 1/2 inch of cinnamon stick
• 2 crushed cardamons
• 2 tbsp fenugreek leaves
• salt to taste
• 1 tsp turmeric
• 1 tbsp of curry masala
• 4 Chicken drumsticks
• Rice soaked in water

Method:

• In a pan heat oil add cinnamon, cumin, cardamom then add onions
• Once the onions are translucent add ginger garlic paste cook until raw aroma is gone
• Add passata or tin tomatoes cook until oil is separate from the mix
• Add masala, fenugreek and Season
• Then add drumsticks mix well, let it seal all the flavour for about 5 mins
• Add warm water just to cover little over the chicken, cook for 15mins with lid on
• Add rice, I prefer to soak rice for atleast 10 mins before cooking. Cook rice for until they are done takes about 8-10 mins, if the water is all absorbed and rice are still not done then add a little hot water.
