Ingredients
Quantities scale automatically · metric units (change in profile)
Instructions
1
Blend the tomatoes, red pepper, chilli, half the onion, the garlic and ginger to a smooth base in a blender.
2
Slice the remaining onion and fry it in half the olive oil in a large pot. Stir in the tomato paste for 2 minutes, pour in the blended base and cook it down for 10 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon.
3
Add the rice, water, salt and black pepper. Cover tightly and simmer on the lowest heat for 25 minutes without lifting the lid; the slight scorching at the bottom is authentic. The dried thyme, the curry powder and the bay leaves go in with the rice.
4
Season the chicken breast, cut into strips on a cutting board with a santoku knife, and sear in the remaining oil in a stainless-steel pan, 3-4 minutes per side. Serve over the red rice.
