(Almost Ready) Butter Chicken With Basmati Rice & Cucumber Raita

Prep:

1. Wash and chop cucumber.
2. Wash and chop mint.

Method:

1. Empty the curry into a saucepan and gently heat.
2. Arrange the grilled zaatar chicken and roasted potatoes on each plate. Serve with a side of mixed salad and lemon wedges.
3. Preheat the oven to 200°c (180°c fan-forced).
4. In a bowl, mix half of the zaatar seasoning, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture evenly over the chicken breasts. Set aside to marinate while preparing the potatoes.
5. Wash and chop parsley.
6. On a baking tray, toss the boiled potatoes with olive oil, remaining zaatar seasoning, salt, and pepper. Roast for 15-20 minutes or until golden and crispy.
7. In a bowl, combine the mixed salad, tomatoes and parsley. Drizzle with lemon juice and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and toss to combine.
8. Cut lemon into wedges.
9. Heat an oiled, grill pan over medium-high heat and grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked, with a golden, charred finish.
10. Place potatoes in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 8-10 minutes or until just tender. Drain and allow to dry slightly.
11. Meanwhile, to make the raita, combine yoghurt, cucumber & mint with a little lemon juice. Season well with salt & pepper.
12. Serve curry over rice alongside the raita and garnish with a lemon wedge.
13. Use a ratio of 1. 5 cups water to 1 cup rice. Add both to a saucepan and bring to the boil, cover with a tight fitting lid, turn heat to low and cook for 14 minutes. Then stand covered for 5 minutes, fluff up with a fork.
