Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Cook the rice
- Rinse the rice.
In a small sauce pot, combine the rice and 1½ cups [3 cups] lightly salted water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork, cover, and keep warm. Meanwhile, start preparing the rest of the meal.
2
Make the yogurt sauce; prep the chicken
- Zest and juice the lemon, keeping the zest and juice separate; set aside the zest for finishing the rice.
- Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel. Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces.
In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt and tandoori spice blend; season lightly with salt and pepper. Transfer half the yogurt mixture to a large bowl. To the small bowl, stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons water; set aside the yogurt sauce for serving.
To the large bowl, stir in the lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Using 4 [8] wooden skewers, thread the chicken onto the skewers, dividing the pieces evenly.
3
Cook the chicken
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the chicken skewers and cook, turning once, until browned and cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. While the chicken is cooking, start preparing the cauliflower.
4
Prep and cook the cauliflower; finish the rice
- Cut the cauliflower into 1-inch florets, discarding any leaves or thick stalks.
In another large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the cauliflower, season generously with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and starting to soften, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
To the pot with the rice, stir in the lemon zest.
Serve
Transfer the rice to individual plates and top with the chicken skewers and cauliflower. Serve the yogurt sauce on the side.
