Ingredients
- 2.5 pounds chicken thighs
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 3/4 cup cilantro roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons dairy-free or greek plain yogurt
- 1/2 tablespoon fresh garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger minced
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons full-fat coconut milk
- 2 1/4 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 1/2 tablespoon ghee
- 1/2 cup golden raisins
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 thinly sliced large onion
- 1/2 cup lemon lemon juice
- 1 1/4 teaspoon sea salt divided
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric
- 1 1/2 cups white jasmine rice
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients up to the chicken thighs, using only ½ tsp of the salt, reserving the rest for later.
- Roughly chop the chicken thighs and place them into the yogurt mixture, stirring so they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate at least 6 hours, up to overnight.
- Once the chicken is marinated, heat the ghee up in a large, non-stick, high-sided pan on medium/high heat. Add the onion and cook until tender, about 3-5 minutes.
- Once the onion is tender, scrape the chicken into the bowl along with the marinade. Cook until the chicken is tender, stirring frequently, about 5-10 minutes.
- Once cooked, stir in the Pomì Organic strained tomatoes, coconut milk, rice and remaining salt until well combined. Bring the mixture to a boil and boil for 3 minutes, stirring constantly so that the bottom doesn’t burn.
- Reduce the heat to medium/low, cover and cook an additional 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender.
- Stir in the cilantro and golden raisins and serve!
