Pop the kid on and crank the heat to high

Cook it in two parts.

Saute some chopped onion in oil at a slightly higher heat until it’s not just translucent but got a bit of browning on it. Add some minced garlic, cardamom, a two inch stick of cinnamon and half a teaspoon of cumin seeds. Saute those for maybe 30 seconds. Add rinsed basmati rice, water and a heaping teaspoon of turmeric. Stir the whole mixture. Pop the kid on and crank the heat to high and cook rice as normal. Once it’s cooked the cardamom and cinnamon stick should be sitting on top. Remove them and throw them away.

Dice up a chicken thigh and give it a good coating of curry powder. Chop up a bell pepper (your choice of color but probably not green unless it compliments your particular curry powder). Grab maybe 2/3 cup frozen peas. In a medium high heat skillet or wok heat some oil with a high smoke point like peanut oil and . Toss in the chicken and bell pepper and cook until the pepper is soft and the meat is cooked and has some browning on it. Add on the peas and continue cooking until they are done.

Serve the two things next to each other or with the chicken mixture on top of the rice.
