Recipe - Quick Chicken Biryani

This recipe was originally lamb but I made it with chicken.

Ingredients
1 tbsp balti curry paste (we used Pataks version)
2 chicken breasts (cubed)
120g basmati rice (rinsed in cold water)
250ml chicken stock
200g spinach leaves
1 large onion
2 fresh red chillis
2 garlic cloves
1 tsp ginger paste
200g green beans (chopped in 1 inch lengths)
2 calorie controlled sprays of oil

Heat a large pain and spray oil on bottom. Add onion, garlic, chilli and ginger and fry until softened slightly.  Add the balti paste and stir/heat until fragrant.

Add the chicken and fry until browned. Add the dry rice and green beans and stock and stir well.
Bring to the boil, cover with a lid, then cook for 15mins on a medium heat until three rice is soft.

Stir through spinach and re-cover the pan with the lid and leave to steam, undisturbed, for 5mins.

Serve immediately :-)
