Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tbsp sunflower oil
2 garlic cloves , crushed
2 tbsp medium curry paste (Madras is a good one to use)
250g basmati rice , rinsed
450ml vegetable stock
400g can chickpeas , drained and rinsed
handful of raisins
175g frozen leaf spinach , thawed
handful of cashew nuts
natural yogurt to serve, optional

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large nonstick pan that has a lid, then fry the garlic and curry paste over a medium heat for 1 minute, until it smells toasty.
  • Tip the rice into the pan with the stock, chickpeas and raisins and stir with a fork to stop the rice from clumping. Season with salt and pepper, then cover and bring to the boil. Reduce to a medium heat and cook for 12-15 minutes or until all the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is tender.
  • Squeeze the excess water from the spinach with your hands. Tip it into the pan along with 2 tbsp of hot water and fluff up the rice with a fork, making sure the spinach is mixed in well. Toss in the cashews. Serve drizzled with natural yogurt if you like.
