Preparation

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken Curry

  1. Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add chopped onions and cook until golden brown.

  3. Stir in Grandma’s Special Nuska Turmeric powder, Red chilli powder, and Black pepper powder. Cook for 1-2 minutes to release the flavours.

  4. Add chicken cubes and cook until lightly browned.

  5. Pour in the tomato puree, Grandma’s Special Nuska Coriander powder, and salt. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the chicken is tender and cooked through.

  6. Finish with Grandma’s Special Nuska Garam Masala and garnish with fresh coriander leaves.


Step 2: Prepare the Cumin Rice

  3. Pour in water and salt, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes until rice is fluffy.

Chef's Tip

For an extra depth of flavour, toast the cumin seeds in a dry pan for 1-2 minutes until they release a fragrant aroma before adding them to your curry or rice. This brings out their natural oils and enhances the overall dish with a warm, earthy flavour that perfectly complements the spices!
