Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tbsp sunflower oil
2 medium onions, cut into rough wedges
4 tbsp curry paste
850ml vegetable stock
750g stewpack frozen vegetables
100g red lentil
200g basmati rice
turmeric
handful of raisins and roughly chopped parsley
poppadums and mango chutney, to serve

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large pan. Add the onions and cook over a high heat for about 8 minutes or until they are golden brown. Stir in the curry paste and cook for a minute. Slowly pour in a little of the stock so it sizzles, scraping any bits from the bottom of the pan. Gradually pour in the rest of the stock.
  • Stir the frozen vegetables, cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the lentils and simmer for a further 15-20 minutes or until the vegetables and lentils are cooked.
  • While the curry is simmering, cook the rice according to the packet instructions, adding the turmeric to the cooking water. Drain well.
  • Season the curry with salt, toss in a handful of raisins and chopped parsley, then serve with the rice, poppadums and chutney.
