Ingredients

• For the Chicken Skewers:

• 500g chicken breast, cut into cubes

• 1 cup plain yogurt

• 2 tbsp daal seasoning mix

• Wooden or metal skewers

• For the Tomato Sauce:

• 1 large onion, finely chopped

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 large tomato, finely chopped

• 1 cup heavy cream

• 1 tbsp butter

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• For Serving:

• 2 cups cooked basmati rice

• Tzatziki sauce (store-bought or homemade)

• Fresh cucumbers, sliced

• Fresh tomatoes, sliced

Directions

• In a bowl, combine the yogurt and daal seasoning mix. Add the chicken cubes and stir until they’re fully coated. Let them marinate for 10-15 minutes.

• Preheat your oven’s broiler. Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers and place them on a baking sheet. Broil for about 10 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and slightly charred.

• While the chicken is cooking, heat the butter and olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until they’re soft and fragrant. Add the chopped tomato and cook until it’s soft.

• Pour the remaining marinade into the pan with the vegetables. Cook until it’s caramelized, then add the heavy cream. Stir until the mixture is thick and creamy.

• To serve, place a portion of basmati rice on each plate. Top with a chicken skewer and a generous helping of the creamy tomato sauce. Add a dollop of tzatziki sauce and a side of fresh cucumbers and tomatoes.

• Notes: • If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before threading the chicken to prevent them from burning.

• For a more aromatic tomato sauce, consider adding some fresh herbs like basil or parsley.

• Remember to always check that the chicken is fully cooked before serving, as eating undercooked chicken can be harmful.
