Ingredients
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 200g Indian-inspired base mix
- 1½ tbsp garam masala
- 1 vegetable stock cube, made up to 250ml
- 500g cherry tomatoes
- 2 x 400g tins chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 400g frozen spinach
- 300g long-grain rice
- 150g Greek-style yogurt
- 15g fresh coriander, leaves picked
Directions
- In a large, deep frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat.
- Add the base mix and cook for 15 minutes, or until softened and gently brown.
- Cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant, after adding the garam masala.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the stock, tomatoes, chickpeas, and spinach.
- Cover and cook, stirring periodically, for 15-20 minutes, or until the tomatoes begin to burst and the spinach has defrosted and blended well into the curry.
- If it appears to be drying out, add another 50ml of water.
- Meanwhile, thoroughly rinse the rice and place it in a small saucepan with 600ml water and a bit of salt.
- Over medium-high heat, bring to a simmer, then cover and reduce to a low heat.
- Cook for 12 minutes, then take from the heat and cover with a lid to keep it steaming until ready to serve.
- Season the curry with salt and pepper, then toss in the yogurt.
- Return to a low simmer to heat through (do not boil, as this will split the sauce), then garnish with coriander and serve with rice on the side.
