Cooking Steps
- Add 1 cup (2 cups) water and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Meanwhile, using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear. Add rice to the boiling water, then reduce heat to low.
- Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min.
- Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
- Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then chicken. Pan-fry on one side until golden, 6-7 min. Flip, then cover and continue cooking until cooked through, 6-7 min.** Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
- Meanwhile, peel, then finely chop shallot.
- Roughly chop cilantro.
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Roughly chop spinach.
- Finely chop chili, removing seeds for less heat. (TIP: We suggest using gloves when prepping chili!)
- Reheat the pan over medium.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then swirl the pan to melt.
- Add shallots. Cook, stirring often, until almost tender, 2-3 min.
- Add Indian Spice Mix, curry paste, tomato sauce base, half the garlic and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) chilis. (NOTE: Reference heat guide.)
- Cook, stirring often, until shallots are tender and spices are fragrant, 1-3 min.
- Add chickpeas with canning liquid, broth concentrate and 1/2 cup (1 cup) water to the pan with shallots.
- Using a potato masher, roughly mash chickpeas.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until curry thickens slightly, 7-8 min. (TIP: If needed, reduce heat to medium to maintain a gentle simmer!)
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Add spinach, then stir until wilted, 1-2 min.
- Meanwhile, add remaining garlic and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
- Arrange flatbread on an unlined baking sheet. (NOTE: For 4 ppl, use 2 baking sheets.)
- Brush the tops of flatbread with garlic oil. Broil in the middle of the oven until warmed through, 2-3 min. (NOTE: For 4 ppl, broil one sheet of flatbread at a time.)
