1 Set a large pan over a medium heat. Add olive oil and heat. Add onion, celery and carrot to pan. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until onion softens. Add garlic and curry powder to pan. Cook, stirring, for 1 more minute or until fragrant.
2 Add rice to pan. Stir to coat grains in oil. Add stock with 1 cup water and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover pan and simmer, without stirring, for 12 minutes or until rice absorbs most of the liquid.
