Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, mix chicken with salt, black pepper, turmeric powder, and red chili powder. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Chop Vegetables

    Finely chop the onion, garlic, ginger, tomato, green bell pepper, and carrot. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Rinse Rice

    Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak in water for 20 minutes, then drain.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large pot, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Add marinated chicken and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 5

    Sauté Vegetables

    Add chopped onions, garlic, and ginger to the pot. Sauté until onions are translucent. Add tomatoes, green bell pepper, and carrot. Cook for another 5 minutes.

  3. 6

    Add Spices

    Stir in coriander powder, garam masala, and frozen peas. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.

  4. 7

    Add Rice and Water

    Add the rinsed basmati rice and 4 cups of water to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until rice is cooked and water is absorbed.

Serving

  1. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Fluff the rice with a fork. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
