Difficulty simple
Ingredients
For rice:
1,5 cup basmati rice
2 cups vegetable broth
1 onion or shallot (chopped)
2 cloves of garlic
Salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 tablespoon yellow curry powder
Extra tip: frozen diced hokkaido pumpkin / cauliflower rice
For chicken:
4-6 chicken thighs or drumsticks (you can adjust the quantity according to your preference)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon ground cumin
Fresh thyme
Method
- Prepare the marinade and brush the drumsticks lightly. I usually prepare them this way before baking, but you can also marinate them in the evening and let them rest.
- In a deeper baking dish, mix the washed rice with the above ingredients.
- Place the drumsticks on top of the rice and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 45 minutes.
- Just before the end, switch the oven to the grill and increase the temperature to 200°C, so the drumsticks will be golden and crispy.
- Serve with a light salad and a quick dip of herbs, yogurt and garlic.
Tips and tricks
Vegetable salad - Fresh vegetable salad adds freshness and crunch to your meal. Try a combination of fresh arugula, cherry tomatoes, cucumber and olives, or add some avocado for richness and creaminess. Drizzle the salad with a light vinaigrette or lemon juice.
Grilled vegetables - You can choose your favourite vegetables such as peppers, courgettes, red onions or broccoli. Drizzle the vegetables with a little olive oil, season with salt and pepper and grill until softened and slightly caramelized.
Yogurt dip - You can mix white yogurt with garlic, lemon juice and a little salt. For a milder flavor, add chopped fresh cilantro or mint.
Sauces - Spicy or sweet and sour sauces can bring a subtle exotic flavour to a dish and add depth to a curry. Try a mango or coriander chutney, for example.
Each of these additions will add an extra dimension to your dish, enhancing its flavours and adding texture, ensuring your dish is not only tasty but visually appealing.
