Spicy Indian mince and rice
(at time of publication)
Instructions
Step 1 Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan (an electric frying pan is ideal). Add onion and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes, or until onion begins to brown.
Step 2 Stir in ginger and mince. Break up any lumps and cook, stirring frequently, until mince has lost its pink colour.
Step 3 Add seasonings. Cook for 1-2 more minutes then add rice, tomatoes in their juice and stock. Break up tomatoes and bring mixture to the boil. Reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes, or until rice is tender.
Step 4 Season with salt and pepper then serve. Garnish with a sprinkling of almonds, currants and coriander (if using).
Variations
Make it gluten-free: Use gluten-free stock, and check your tomatoes are a gluten-free brand.

Really easy to make and delicious!
this is really fantastic, I've made it many times with lamb mince and tonight made it vegetarian with 600g diced eggplant,courgette, carrot and cabbage. Really good! I sub the whole spices with ground so I don't have to pick them out later. It is very spicy, delicious and very easy to make.
Made this for the 1st time last night, easy peasy to do and was yummy as! My partner LOVED it. I paired it with Indian Slaw (from the Spicy Chickpea Koftas recipe on this site) and it was an excellent combo.
