Method
Cut each chicken breast into 2 even pieces and press them with a rolling pin to about 1.5 cm thick. Mix the curd, ginger garlic paste, 2 tbsp lemon juice, Kashmiri chilli powder, cumin powder, black pepper powder, 1 tsp salt and 1 tbsp oil. Coat the chicken and marinate for 30 minutes.
Wash the basmati rice, soak it for 20 minutes and drain.
Melt the butter in a pot on medium flame. Fry the garlic and onion for 3 to 4 minutes until soft. Add the mixed herbs and rice and stir for 1 minute. Add 400 ml water and the rest of the salt and bring to a boil. Cover and cook on the lowest flame for 12 minutes, then leave it covered off the flame for 5 minutes.
Heat a grill pan or tawa on high flame and brush it with the remaining oil. Lower the flame to medium, place the chicken on it and cook for 5 to 6 minutes on each side without moving it, until it has dark grill marks and is white all the way through.
Take the chicken off and rest it for 5 minutes, then slice it.
Fluff the rice with a fork and mix in the coriander leaves and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Serve the herb rice with the sliced chicken on top.
