1 PREP
1

Peel ginger using a spoon's edge — you'll be able to maneuver around the knobbly bits more easily!

Wash and dry all produce.* Peel, then mince or grate garlic. Peel, then grate 1/2 tbsp ginger. Using a box grater, coarsely grate carrot. Peel, then cut shallot into 1/4-inch pieces. Finely chop cilantro. Pat chicken dry with paper towel, then cut into 1-inch pieces. Season with salt and pepper.

2 COOK RICE
2

Heat a medium pot over medium-high heat. When pot is hot, add 1 tbsp oil, then half the shallot and half the garlic. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1 min. Add rice and 2 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low. Cover and cook, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min.

3 START CHICKEN
3

Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp oil, then chicken. Cook, stirring often, until chicken is golden-brown and cooked through, 6-7 min. (TIP: Cook to a min. internal temp. of 74°C/165°F, as size may vary.**) Transfer chicken to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.

4 COOK SAUCE
4

Using the same pan, reduce the heat to medium. Add another 1 tbsp oil, then ginger, Tandoori Masala, remaining shallot and remaining garlic. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 30 sec. Add crushed tomatoes and 1/2 cup water. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened 4-5 min.

5 FINISH RICE
5

When sauce is slightly thickened, remove pan from heat. Add chicken, including any juices from the plate and stir to coat. Add yogurt and stir together. Fluff rice with a fork, then season with salt. Stir in carrots, peas and half the cilantro.

6 FINISH AND SERVE
6

Divide rice between bowls and top with butter chicken. Sprinkle over remaining cilantro.
