Ingredients (makes 4 servings):
- 100g basmati rice
- 2 medium onions
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves
- ½ lime
- 1-2 tablespoons of curry paste (Tikka Masala curry paste works well too!)
- 375ml coconut milk (1 can)
- 400g chickpeas (2 cans), drained
- 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
- 2 medium tomatoes/handful cherry tomatoes (chopped)
- 50g peas
Directions:
- Add the rice to 250ml water with a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Keep an eye on the rice – when the water is boiling put a lid on it, reduce the heat to low and cook for another 8-10 mins (or as per packet instructions).
- While this is happening chop the onions, garlic and juice the lime.
- Put the oil and onions into a large pan and cook on a low-medium heat until the onions start to soften and turn clear (about 5 minutes). Add the garlic and chilli for a further 1 minute.
- Add 1 tablespoon of curry paste and the milk, stirring until the curry is dissolved. Add another pinch of salt. Taste test – if you’d like your curry a little stronger then add another tbsp.
- Throw in the chickpeas and soy sauce, and cook on a medium heat for around 5 minutes, bringing the curry to a boil. If it starts to burn, reduce heat immediately.
- Add the chopped tomatoes, chopped basil, lime juice, soy sauce and gently simmer the curry for another 2 minutes. Taste test again, and if desired add a second tablespoon soy sauce. Give it another stir.
- The rice should be done by now too – fork it through to make it fluffy.
- Serve the curry with rice together
