Spicy Indian mince and rice

Instructions

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.

2 Stir in ginger and mince. Break up any lumps and cook, stirring frequently, until mince has lost its pink colour.

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.

4 Season with salt and pepper then serve. Garnish with a sprinkling of almonds, currants and coriander (if using).
