Instructions
Prep
Rinse basmati rice. Finely chop onion, ginger-garlic paste, green chillies, tomatoes, and fresh coriander. Cut chicken into 0.75-inch pieces. If using fresh methi, blanch in boiling water 60 seconds, drain, squeeze dry. Crush kasuri methi.
Boil
Combine rice, 260ml water, and 0.5 tsp salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, cover, reduce to low, cook 10 minutes. Remove from heat, rest covered 5 minutes until fluffy.
Bloom
Heat 3 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 0.5 tsp cumin seeds, sizzle 15 seconds until fragrant. Add onion, cook 3–4 minutes stirring until edges turn golden.

Add ginger-garlic paste and green chillies, cook 1 minute on medium-high until raw smell fades. Add chicken pieces, sear 2–3 minutes until edges turn opaque. Stir in tomatoes, kashmiri chilli powder, turmeric, ground coriander, and 1 tsp salt.
Simmer
Cook 3–4 minutes on medium-low, stirring, until tomatoes break down and oil beads on the surface. Add 120ml hot water, cover, reduce to low, cook 5 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F. Uncover, add blanched methi, cook 90 seconds on medium stirring until liquid reduces.
Finish
Stir in garam masala, crushed kasuri methi, and lemon juice off the heat. Fluff rice with a fork.
Plate
Spoon rice into bowls, top with methi chicken, garnish with fresh coriander, and serve with pickle and papad alongside.
