Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups basmati rice
  • 500g chicken breast, cut into small pieces
  • 500g prawns, peeled and deveined
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Chopped fresh coriander, for garnish

Equipment:

  • A large pot with a lid
  • A wooden spoon
  • A sharp knife
  • A chopping board

Method:

  1. Rinse the rice thoroughly in cold water and let it soak for 30 minutes. Drain the water and set aside.
  2. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté until softened.
  3. Add the chicken and prawns and cook until they are browned on all sides.
  4. Add the ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, and salt to the pot and stir well to coat the chicken and prawns.
  5. Add the rice to the pot and stir well to coat it with the spice mixture.
  6. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.
  7. Remove the pot from heat and let it sit for 5-10 minutes before fluffing the rice with a fork.
  8. Garnish the dish with chopped fresh coriander and serve hot.

Notes:

  • For a spicier version, add a chopped chilli pepper to the pot with the onions and garlic.
