Ingredients

• Chicken, 120g, boiled
• Chicken broth, 1 cup
• Instant oats, ½ cup (50g)
• Mixed lentil flour, ¼ cup
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• Garlic-ginger paste, 1 tbsp
• Red paprika (adjust to taste), 1 tsp
• Turmeric, 1 tsp
• Garam masala, 1 tsp
• Salt (adjust to taste), 1 tsp
• Oil, 1 tsp
• Fresh coriander leaves, for garnish

Method

1. To prepare the broth, add 2 cups of water to a pan along with your chicken. Boil the chicken until it becomes tender, and the water has reduced to 1 cup.
2. Remove your chicken from the broth and set the broth aside.
3. Separate the chicken meat from the bones and shred it (you can do this using 2 forks).
4. In a large pot, add the shredded chicken, chicken broth, instant oats, lentil flour, chopped onion, garlic-ginger paste, garam masala, red paprika, turmeric and salt.
5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes.
6. In a small pan, heat 1 tsp of oil.
7. Once your oil is hot, pour it over your cooked mixture (this tempering will help bring out the flavours of the dish).
