I tried this last night, but I had to add a few tablespoons of tomato puree to make the sauce stick to the chicken a bit more. I then took a large pot, added a thin layer of boiling water, added storebought precooked pilau rice, added a layer of the chicken and another layer of rice on top of that. Put a lid on it and let it sit on low heat, steaming and warming up the rice, for about 20 minutes and then served. Otherwise the chicken was very nice, not too spicey but definately curry-y :) -
This was pretty good. Not curry-y enough for me. The next time I make it I'm going to try to add another tablespoon of the curry paste. I also cut the chickn up into chunks as opposed to cooking the whole chicken breasts. Then spooned over the rice. Very tasty.
