Directions

  1. 1Add a splash of oil to the pan, then add the chicken breast. Add salt, a touch of turmeric, and a touch of paprika. Cook until the chicken is crusty.
  2. 2Remove the chicken from the pan. Add 2 tablespoons of ghee, then add diced onion, sliced garlic, ginger paste, and tender stem broccoli. Stir until fragrant.
  3. 3Add sliced bell peppers and mushrooms. My dad used to call mushrooms "bengor sathi" which basically means they’re frogs umbrella.
  4. 4Add tomato purée, salt, pepper, and all of the spices. Add a splash of water and stir.
  5. 5Add the cooked chicken back into the pan, along with a bunch of red chilli and a big fat lemon wedge. Squeeze the lemon juice into the pan and stir.
  6. 6Add some white rice and stir. Add a touch more salt to compensate for the rice, and then some fresh coriander.
  7. 7Turn off the heat, add a bit more coriander, and serve.
