1

Prepare Trifecta chicken as indicated and keep in a bowl until needed.

2

Dice onion and garlic.

3

Open coconut milk and separate amounts needed.

4

In a pan, heat up coconut oil over medium-high until shimmering and slightly smoking.

5

Immediately add the onion and garlic cloves. Mix constantly with a spatula and cook until onions are translucent.

6

Lower and adjust heat as needed.

7

Once onions are slightly translucent, add Graan Masala and curry powder to onions and mix for a few seconds until spices are fragrant.

8

Add curry sauce and tomato puree and mix. Adjust heat to low and cover the pan, while the sauce simmers gently for about 2-3 minutes, stirring every so often.

9

Add water or stock if the sauce gets too thick. Taste for seasoning and adjust as needed.

10

Once 2-3 minutes have passed, add diced chicken into the sauce and mix to incorporate. Let chicken heat up for another 2-3 minutes.

11

Meanwhile, reheat 2 cups of Trifecta rice in the microwave. Divide evenly amongst all 4 plates, each with 0.5 cups.
