Method
step 1
Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan, and fry the onion for 5 minutes until softened and starting to turn golden. Add the spices and seeds and fry until the seeds start to pop.
step 2
Add the chicken and cooked rice, and stir until heated through – about 5 minutes. You may need to add a splash of water if it’s sticking. Stir in the spinach, season well and cook until wilted.
step 3
Serve the pilaf topped with dollops of the yogurt, a pinch more of garam masala and chopped coriander.
