Ingredients

  1. 2 cups water
  2. 1 ½ cups white rice
  3. 5 teaspoons grapeseed oil, divided
  4. 4 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  5. 5 green chile peppers, thinly sliced
  6. 1 tablespoon garam masala
  7. 1 tablespoon cumin seeds
  8. 1 tablespoon ground coriander
  9. 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  10. 1 tablespoon crushed red chile flakes
  11. 1 tablespoon red curry paste
  12. 1 teaspoon salt
  13. ½ teaspoon chili powder
  14. 1 cup Greek yogurt
  15. ⅓ cup water
  16. ½ teaspoon red food coloring

Instructions

  1. Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, about 25 minutes.
  2. When the rice has been cooking for 15 minutes, heat 3 teaspoons oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add chicken; cook and stir until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove to a plate.
  3. Add chile peppers, garam masala, cumin seeds, coriander, garlic, chile flakes, curry paste, salt, and chili powder. cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Return chicken to the pan and toss to coat with spices. Add yogurt and water (if you want a runnier sauce). Simmer for 3 minutes. Stir in food coloring and serve over hot rice.
  4. This uses food coloring because Chicken 65 is supposed to be bright red to accentuate the spice it has.

Felt like the flavors were unbalanced and we all agreed that despite the spices this was weirdly bland.
