Savoury Rice
An authentic Indian specialty cooked with freshly ground roasted spices, caramelised onions, and aromatic herbs in the traditional style.
Ingredients
- • 1 onion (chopped quite finely)
- • 3 mushrooms (sliced)
- • 1/2 red pepper (deseeded and diced)
- • 150 g long grain rice
- • 1 vegetable stock cube
- • 550 ml water (boiling)
- • 40 g peas (frozen is fine)
- • 40 g sweetcorn (frozen is fine)
- • 2 tsp curry powder
- • 2 tsp turmeric
- • 1 small carrot (finely diced)
- • low calorie cooking spray
Preparation Steps
Over a medium heat, spray a large frying pan with low calorie cooking spray and cook the onions for around 5 minutes until softened.
Add the peppers, carrots, mushrooms, turmeric, and curry powder and cook for another couple of minutes.
Mix up the stock cube with the boiling water.
Add the rice to the pan and give it another few sprays of low calorie cooking spray so that the rice doesn't stick together. Stir well.
Add the stock, peas, and sweetcorn. Stir and bring to the boil.
Cover the pan and lower the heat. Allow to simmer for 15 minutes or until the rice is tender, stirring occasionally.
Serve immediately on its own, or with your choice of meal!
