  3. Heat the ghee in a non stick frying pan and fry the chicken over a low heat for 5 minutes each side

  4. Meanwhile heat the Tilda Lime & Coriander rice according to pouch instructions

  5. Place the hot rice in a bowl, add the spinach and toss until wilted

  6. Serve the fried green chilli chicken on top of the rice with a wedge of lime
