Steps:

  • Method.
  • Add oil and butter in a heat resistance pot, then add the chicken breast, paprika, cayenne, onion, celery, green pepper, garlic and ginger. Saute for about 3 minutes.
  • Add the chopped carrots next and saute for a minute with little salt.
  • Add the tomato paste, tomatoes along with curry powder, bay leaf & thyme. Cook until tomatoes get slightly soft. For about 3 minutes until you see the oil getting red. Then add frozen veggies. . Add the rice next. Saute for another 2 minutes or so.
  • Add 3 cups of vegetable stock/water, bouillon cube, required salt,close the lid and cook until 90% cooked, for about 30 minutes.
  • Allow the rice to continue cooking until the rice is soft. If it is not dry at this point, then switch the heat to low to allow it to dry the excess water without making the rice much softer.
  • If rice is still lil hard, add 1/4 cup water and cover with foil, which will allow it to steam through. Check back at 5 min and It should be ready. You want your rice not too soft.
  • Garnish with cilantro/parsely and serve.

  • Place the rice in a large bowl and rinse with cold water until the water run mostly clear. (This reduces the stickiness of the rice.) Then drain off the water and set the rice aside.
  • Set out a large pot and a medium pot. Place the large pot over medium heat. Add the oil, rinsed rice, chicken bouillon, curry powder, paprika, thyme, and bay leaf. Toss to coat the rice in the spices. Then stir in 4 cups water. Cover and cook for 15 minutes, or until vent hole form on the top of the rice. Then remove from the heat, keep covered, and let the rice steam for another 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, peel and cut the onion into wedges. Remove the seeds from the bell pepper and cut it into large chunks. Remove the seeds from the habanero (or don’t, for extra heat.) Peel the garlic cloves. You can leave the peel on the ginger if it is soft and papery. If it seems tough and dry, peel it off.
  • Place the canned tomatoes, onion wedges, red bell pepper, habanero, garlic cloves, and ginger in a blender. Add 1 teaspoon salt. Cover and puree until smooth.
