Almond, pea and coriander pilaf with chicken

Step 1

Heat half the oil in a large saucepan over high heat. Add half the chicken and cook, turning occasionally, for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer to a bowl. Repeat with remaining chicken.

Step 2

Heat remaining oil in the pan over medium heat. Add onion, ginger and chilli and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until onion softens. Add ground coriander, cumin and curry leaves and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until aromatic. Add rice and chicken and stir to combine. Add chicken stock; bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and cook, covered, for 12 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender. Remove from heat; sprinkle with peas. Cover and set aside for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Add the almonds to the rice and use a fork to fluff the rice and stir the peas and almonds through.
