This is a milder dish...if you want more heat, add chilli in with the veg.

Tandoori Chicken Risoni

2 garlic cloves
1 red or brown onion, quartered
1 red capsicum, seeded & quartered
1 green capsicum, seeded & quartered
(Optional - chopped chilli)
2 chicken breasts, cut into large bite size or thick strips
Handful continental parsley (or coriander if you like the stuff  :-X)
1 tsp. TM vegetable stock
250g Risoni
200g boiled water
1 tin diced tomatoes
1/3 cup tandoori paste (I use Pataks)
Sour cream
Salted cashew nuts

The Chicken

In a glass dish, mix tandoori paste & 2 dessert spoons sour cream together. 
Mix through chicken, and leave in fridge for 30 mins if you have the time.

Add the garlic, onion, capsicums, parsley & chilli if using, and chop 2 seconds, speed 5.
Scrape jug and add 20g oil.  Cook 5 minutes, 100c,  :-: speed 1, MC off.
Add all the chicken & tandoori mix into jug, cook 2 minutes, 100c  :-: speed 1.
Add tinned tomatoes, Risoni, TM stock & boiled water.  Cook 5 minutes, 100c  :-: speed 1, MC on.
Add a good handful cashews, and cook a further 5 minutes, 100c  :-: speed 1.
Check chicken is cooked, if not, add a couple more minutes cooking time.
Serve with a good dollop of sour cream to mix through, and chopped spring onions if you wish.

I like risoni so wanted to try this one. Many years ago I used to make something similar from a WW book but I don't think it had a curry flavour. I only used 100g of risoni and my curry paste was the lime one from the Tassie book. It turned out really nice and I will make it again. One error I made was to dish it up for the two of use straight from the jug and wondered where most of the pasta was; I will put it into the thermo server next time and give it a stir as when putting the left overs away there was all the lovely risoni; I don't think DH minded because he is not a pasta fan. Another one for the challenge.

I needed a quick dinner and this fit the bill. I had most of the ingredients except sourcream, so I substituted plain yoghurt instead.
It was delicious and I will make it again :)
