Before you start

Pull out a large frying pan & a measuring jug

Get started

Thinly slice the onion. Dice the pepper into 2cm chunks. Trim and chop the green beans and cut into thirds
Heat the large frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the onion, pepper, green beans and chicken. Season with salt and pepper
Cook for 12 mins, stirring occasionally, until golden

Build the dish

Meanwhile, finely chop or crush the garlic. Roughly chop the coriander
Add the garlic, tikka paste and tomato puree to the pan. Stir to combine and cook for 2 mins, then add the rice and 150ml water (75ml for 1 person)
Cook for 2-3 mins, until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is piping hot

Plate up

Check your chicken is cooked through by cutting a large piece in half; the flesh should be white and the juices running clear
Share the chicken biryani between bowls. Garnish with the coriander
