Method

  1. Toss the chicken with half the yogurt and the garam masala, ginger, garlic and salt; leave it 10 minutes.
  2. Melt the butter in a 12-inch (30cm) skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken, without the marinade, for 4 minutes, turning once, until golden on two sides.
  3. Add the passata and the leftover marinade, cover and simmer on low for 10 minutes, until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). Off the heat, loosen the rest of the yogurt with a spoonful of sauce and stir it in.
  4. Meanwhile microwave the cauliflower rice, covered, 4 minutes. Spoon the chicken over it and scatter the cilantro.
