Chicken Tikka Masala and Rice with Carrots and Parsley

I had this packet of Tikka Masala sauce in my pantry for months now, so I decided to use it today. I have been avoiding chicken for months now and I told myself to be brave enough to have some last Sunday. I was happy it didn't leave any bad taste in my mouth anymore so chicken and fish was in my shopping list yesterday. So then, we had chicken tikka masala for dinner and it tasted lovely! Kindly follow the instructions at the back of the packet and I think adding cream made the dish more enjoyable.

To make the rice all you need are:

1 cup of rice
1 Tbsp olive oil
a pinch of salt
grated carrot (medium size)
dried parsley

What To Do:

1. Wash rice with water at least 3 times. Add 1 and 1/2 cup of water, oil and a pinch of salt.
2. Cook in the  rice cooker (I am using rice cooker here).
3. Once cooked add grated carrots and parsley.
4. Add more oil if rice is too dry.

*For some odd reason I couldn't upload another picture tonight. I will try again tomorrow and if it still doesn't work and you would like to try the Tikka Masala sauce, it is called "Passage to India", Tikka Masala simmer sauce.
