Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Cooked rice
- 300 grams Chicken (boneless, cut into small pieces)
- 1 large Onion (finely sliced)
- 1 large Tomato (finely chopped)
- 4 cloves Fresh garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 pieces Green chili (sliced)
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 3 tablespoons Sunflower oil (or any cooking oil)
Instructions
Heat the sunflower oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat.
Add the cumin seeds and allow them to sizzle for 30 seconds until aromatic.
Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and green chilies. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the sliced onion and cook until translucent, approximately 5 minutes.
Add the chopped tomato, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and salt. Cook until the tomato softens and forms a thick paste, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the chicken pieces to the pan. Stir well to coat with the spice mixture. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Lower the heat and add the cooked rice. Mix gently to combine the rice with the chicken and spices.
Sprinkle the garam masala over the mixture and adjust the salt if needed. Stir well for 2-3 minutes to ensure everything is evenly mixed and heated through.
Turn off the heat and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro. Serve hot with a side of achar (Nepali pickle) or yogurt.
