Steps

  1. Cook rice. Combine rice, water, salt and rice spice mix in a medium pot and bring to the boil. As soon as it boils, cover with a tight-fitting lid and reduce to lowest heat to cook for 15 minutes. Turn off heat and leave to steam, still covered, for a further 8 minutes. Do not lift lid during cooking.
  2. Prep lamb veggies.
  3. Cook lamb. Heat oil in a medium fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook onion and first measure of carrot with a pinch of salt for 3-4 minutes, until starting to soften. Add cauliflower and rogan josh spice paste and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  4. Add stock and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low-medium and simmer for 6-8 minutes, until vegetables are tender.
  5. Add lamb to pan and break into bite-sized pieces. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until piping hot. Remove from heat and stir through yoghurt and chilli flakes (if using). Season.
  6. Prep & assemble pickle. Combine vinegar and honey in a small bowl, add cucumber and remaining carrot, toss to combine and season.
  7. To serve, divide rice between bowls and top with lamb and pickle. Dollop over yoghurt.
