Coronation rice is a classic cold-served English dish made by tossing boiled rice with a light yogurt-based curry dressing and topping it with poached chicken breast. Carefully balancing the ratio of yogurt to curry powder is a delicate act — the dressing must be neither too sour nor too spicy. Using yogurt instead of a heavier dairy product also makes it a suitable option for anyone looking for a heart-healthy meal.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Boil the rice

10 min

Boil the rice in salted water for 10 minutes, keeping the grains separate, then let it cool.

2

Prepare the curry dressing

8 min

Mix the yogurt with the curry powder a little at a time, tasting as you balance it, then add the dried apricot pieces.

3

Toss together

5 min

Gently toss the cooled rice with the shredded chicken breast and the curry dressing.

4

Chill and serve

20 min

Chill the rice in the refrigerator for 20 minutes before serving.

Reminder

If you add the curry powder without measuring, the dressing turns overly spicy and overwhelms the yogurt's freshness — add it a little at a time, tasting as you go. Allergens: contains milk and dairy (yogurt).

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

Adding a few pieces of dried apricot to the dressing gives the rice a subtle sweetness.

Köri tozunu tarifte uyarıldığı gibi azar azar eklemek yerine tek seferde 1 tatlı kaşığı döktüm, sos gerçekten çok acı ve baskın oldu, yoğurdun ferahlığı tamamen kayboldu.
