200 g basmati rice
1 tablespoon sunflower oil
1 large onion, peeled and chopped
2 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced
2 inches gingerroot, peeled and chopped
2 whole cloves
1 cinnamon stick
2 cardamom pods, cracked
1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
50 g frozen peas
50 g frozen sweet corn
50 g sliced almonds (optional)
