This variation of [[Murghi roti]] was inspired by [[User:MiguelCerámico|User:Apples]] - he loved his fruity food!

Murghi roti , (murghi ruti, chicken roti, chicken ruti): ([[Rice|rice]] cake with [[Chicken|chicken]]) is a South Indian style dish made with cooked rice, cooked chicken and lots of [[Spices|spices]].

This recipe only differs from [[murghi roti|the original]] by the addition of 200 ml of coconut milk instead of normal milk. Oh, and its accompaniment - [[nectarines]]. A fantastic meal.

}}
'''spices'''
''The charm of this dish is the 'bite' of the whole spices, don't be tempted to grind them!''
* 2 teaspoons whole [[coriander seeds]]
* 1 teaspoon whole [[cumin seeds]] (white)
* 1/2 a teaspoon of whole [[fenugreek seeds]]
* 1 teaspoon [[turmeric powder]]

===Method===
{{RecipeMethod
| Quickly wash and drain the [[rice]] but don't rinse it as you normally would, this dish is best with rice of a starchy consistency.
| Cook in boiling water for 7 to 11 minutes.
| Rinse the cooked rice in cold water until it is cold. Drain well.
| Add the [[Rice|rice]] to a [[Food processor|food processor]] with a metal blade together with 200 ml of [[coconut milk]] and blend to a thick creamy purée. Remember, the inside is not going to change much whilst being cooked and will remain at roughly the same consistency as it was when first mixed.
| Heat the [[Ghee|ghee]] in a [[frying pan]] or [[Wok|wok]] and [[Stir-fry|stir-fry]] all of the [[Spices|spices]] for half a minute, then add the [[Ginger|ginger]] and [[Garlic|garlic]] and allow them to cook for a minute or so.
| Add the [[Onion|onion]] and reduce the heat a little and let them cook until translucent; about 5 minutes.
| Add the [[Chicken|chicken]], [[Coconut|coconut]] and [[Chilli|chilli]] to the [[Onions|onions]], mix well and remove from the heat.
| In a large bowl, mix everything together.
| Lightly [[Oil|oil]] a large non-stick oven proof [[Frying pan|frying pan]] put on a medium heat.
| Preheat the [[Grill|grill]].
| Add the mixture from the bowl to the frying pan and pat down so it is flat
| Ensure the mixture is evenly distributed and cook gently for about 10 minutes or until the [[Rice|rice]] [[Cake|cake]] has properly solidified.
| If it catches on the bottom of the pan, use a pallet knife to turn areas of the mixture over, the more crunchy bits there are, the nicer it will taste.
| After 10 minutes or so, finish the rice cake off under a hot grill to it's nicely toasted.
| Sprinkle with [[Lime juice|lime juice]] and serve immediately.

Doing a 'freezer clean out', we made a marvellous version of this with 1 [[chicken]] breast and a bag of cooked red kidney beans. The chicken was thinly sliced and sautéed with lots of crushed [[garlic]] and the kidney beans fried with the chicken and mashed down a little - rather like [[re-fried beans]]. This was added in place of the normally cooked chicken in this recipe.
===A better way of cooking this===
After making variants of this for many years, I've discovered the best method of cooking is to spread the ingredients out on a lightly greased [[baking tray]] and bake at 220° C (425° F - gas 7) for 35 minutes, stirring up the contents every 10 minutes. It might be an idea with a meat other than crayfish, to add the meat (or prawns) for the last 10 minutes so they don't dry out.

===Chef's notes===
Steamed chicken works well in this recipe - Follow the [[Chinese style steamed chicken]] using a quartered onion and a handful of fresh herbs instead of the Chinese ingredients.
