Why this works
Ginger and turmeric both act on inflammatory pathways, and a one-pot format means you will actually make it.

- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 tbsp grated ginger, 4 garlic cloves
- 2 tsp turmeric, 1 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1.5 cups brown basmati rice
- 3 cups broth
- 1 cup frozen peas
- Cilantro and yogurt to serve
Method
- 1Brown the seasoned chicken in the oil, skin down, 7 minutes. Set aside.
- 2Soften the onion, then add the garlic, ginger, and spices for 1 minute.
- 3Stir in the rice to coat, add the broth, and nestle the chicken back on top.
- 4Cover and simmer 35 minutes until the rice is tender.
- 5Scatter the peas over, rest covered 5 minutes, then serve with cilantro and yogurt.
Yvette's tip
Black pepper is not optional here, it raises curcumin absorption substantially.
