Curry

  • 1/2 brown onion
  • 1 carrot
  • 1/2 broccoli
  • 1 pack paneer
  • 1/2 can chickpeas
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 pack korma paste
  • 200ml coconut milk

  • 1/4 cup vegetable stock

Yoghurt

Steps

  1. Cook rice Bring a kettle to the boil. Add rice, boiling water measure and 1/2 tsp salt to a medium pot and bring to the boil with a lid on. Reduce to lowest heat to cook for 12 minutes. Turn off heat and steam, covered, for 5 more minutes. Do not lift lid during cooking.
  2. Prep curry Thinly slice brown onion; cut carrot in half lengthways and thinly slice; cut broccoli into small florets; dice paneer 1cm and set aside; drain and rinse chickpeas.
  3. Cook curry Heat a drizzle of oil in a fry-pan on medium-high heat and cook onion, 1/2 tsp salt and carrot for 5-6 minutes, until softened. Add garlic and korma paste and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add chickpeas, coconut milk, tomatoes and stock. Bring to a simmer and reduce heat to medium. Simmer for about 6 minutes, stirring often, until starting to thicken.
  4. Stir through paneer and broccoli and simmer for 3-4 minutes, until paneer has softened and broccoli is bright green and tender. Remove from heat and season to taste.
  5. Make cucumber yoghurt Grate cucumber and squeeze to remove excess liquid. Combine with yoghurt and honey in a bowl and season to taste.
