Add marinated chicken to the pan with the onions.

Deglaze the pan by adding water and stir to cover the chicken with water.

Cook the chicken until it's juicy, avoiding overcooking.

Rinse 2 cups of sticky rice until the water runs clear (note: creator only rinsed once).

Add 3.5 cups of water to the rinsed rice and salt, then cook.

Add chili flakes to the chicken for spice.

Add a whole packet of tomato puree to the chicken and stir.

Mix Greek yogurt with a little flour and milk to thicken the sauce, then add to the chicken.

Taste the sauce and add sugar if too sour from the tomato puree.

Check the pumpkin and add butter when most of the water has cooked out.
