Ingredients

  • 1½ tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 tsp sunflower oil
  • 1 large carrot, coarsely grated
  • 100g dried basmati rice
  • 10g desiccated coconut (optional)
  • 1 lime
  • 7 tbsp dairy-free coconut yogurt (or use natural)
  • 2 skinless chicken breast fillets
  • 50g mango chutney
  • 150g cucumber
  • coriander or mint, to serve, optional

Step by step

  1. In a medium pan, gently fry 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds in the oil until fragrant. Add the carrot, rice, coconut if using, and a pinch of salt. Add 250ml boiling water from the kettle, bring to the boil and give it a good stir. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook for 15 minutes or until the rice has absorbed all the liquid. Leave to stand until ready to serve.
  2. Meanwhile, preheat the grill and line the grill tray with foil (or preheat an air fryer to 200°C, with a silicone liner). Grate the zest from half the lime and mix with 2 tablespoons of the yogurt and some seasoning. Slash the chicken a few times and turn in the yogurt mixture to coat; transfer to the tray and grill for about 8 minutes, or brush with oil and cook in the air fryer for 8-10 minutes, until almost cooked through.
  3. Squeeze the juice from half the lime (cut the rest into wedges) and mix with the chutney and the rest of the cumin seeds. Spoon over the chicken and cook for another 5-7 minutes until caramelised.
  4. Finely dice one-third of the cucumber then coarsely grate the rest. Squeeze excess liquid out of the grated cucumber then mix with 5 tablespoons of yogurt, a squeeze of lime juice from one of the wedges and seasoning, for a quick raita.
  5. Serve the chicken and raita with the rice and lime wedges, scattering over the diced cucumber and garnishing with coriander or mint if using.
