Let’s start by preparing the chicken. In a large bowl, add small, evenly cut cubes of chicken breast. Season with a pinch of ground coriander, a little turmeric, powdered ginger, lightly crushed coriander seeds, salt, and black pepper. Finely, grate one or two garlic cloves. Then add 2 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Mix everything well to coat the chicken with flavor and let it rest for a few minutes. Meanwhile, let’s prepare a light vegetable salad.

Steam the vegetables until soft and tender. You’ll get a light, flavorful salad that pairs beautifully with the rest of the meal. Now, let’s make a cold tuna rice salad.
