Ingredients
  

  • 1 packet Qetoe Rice
  • 500g chicken breast, diced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • 2 teaspoons garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes (canned)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh coriander for garnish

Method
 

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large pan over medium heat.
  2. Add chopped onion, garlic, and ginger. Sauté until the onion is translucent.
  3. Stir in the garam masala and paprika, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the diced chicken and stir until coated in spices. Cook until browned all over.
  5. Pour in the diced tomatoes, add salt to taste, and simmer for 10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
  6. Reduce the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer for another 5 minutes until thickened.
  7. Meanwhile, prepare the Qetoe Rice by covering it with boiling water and letting it sit for 5 minutes. Fluff before serving.

Notes

Ensure to simmer the sauce long enough for the flavours to meld beautifully before adding the cream.
Feel free to replace chicken with your choice of seafood or plant-based protein for a twist! This dish remains delicious and low in carbs.
