Creamy Chicken Masala

Pour the cold water for the rice (see ingredients for amount) into a medium saucepan with a tight fitting lid, stir in the rice and 0.25 tsp of salt, cover with the lid and bring to the boil on medium high heat. Once boiling, turn the heat down to its lowest setting. Leave to cook for 10 mins, then remove the pan from the heat (still covered) and leave to the side for another 10 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).

While the squash and rice cook, heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium high heat. Once hot, add the chopped chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned on the outside, 4-5 mins. Stir occasionally.

Meanwhile, halve, peel and thinly slice the red onion. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).Trim the spring onions, slice thinly and keep to the side. Once the chicken has browned, add the red onion and cook until softened, 5-6 mins. Stir occasionally.

Add in the garlic and tandoori spice (add less if you don't like heat). Stir and cook for 1 minute. Pour in the passata, water (see ingredients for amount) and the stock powder. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to medium. Simmer until reduced by half, 5-6 mins. Add the spinach in handfuls, stir through and cook until wilted, 2-3 mins. Add the sour cream, stir into the sauce until combined, then remove from the heat.
