1 1/4 cups purple rice, preferably Alter Eco, rinsed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 can (14 ounces) peeled chopped tomatoes
2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 1 pound), cut into strips
2 tablespoons curry
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup coconut milk
2 pinches ground cinnamon
Cilantro leaves, coarsely chopped, for garnish

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my chicken turned out tough and the sauce was watery. I won't be making this recipe again.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was very flavorful. I would recommend cooking the chicken for a shorter amount of time next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. It needed more spices and herbs to give it more flavor.

This dish was a bit spicy for me, but it was still very flavorful. I would recommend using less chili pepper next time.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with some roasted chicken I had, and it turned out great. The sauce is very flavorful and the jasmine rice is a nice touch.
