Introduction from Nadiya Hussain
This is an all-in-one dish that is made using half the curry. This is great for a meal that require no faff, just warmed and straight into a bowl.
Ingredients
Essential kit
You will need a blender.
Method
First make the Chicken Curry.
Begin by putting half the curry in a pan, adding the orzo and cooking over a high heat till the orzo is combined and starts to change in colour.
Pour in the boiling water, bring the whole thing to a boil and then reduce. Keep the lid off and cook till the orzo is tender and no longer has a crunchy centre. Take off the heat.
To serve, I like to add the yoghurt, oil, garlic, lemon juice and coriander to a blender and make a quick and flavourful drizzle. Add a splash of milk to loosen and drizzle all over your hot orzo.
TIP: You can use soured cream or mascarpone if you don’t have yoghurt.
