TIME FOR A TOAST
Roughly chop the nut & noodle mix and place in a pot over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
NICE RICE
Return the pot to medium heat with the rinsed rice and 150ml of salted water. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, 8-10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover.
FRAGRANT FRY-UP
Pat the beef pieces dry with paper towel. Return the pot to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the beef pieces until browned, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the diced carrot and ½ the diced onion. Fry until starting to soften, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally).
SPICE & ALL THINGS NICE
When the onion and carrot have started to soften, add the vindaloo spice, the curry paste, the grated garlic, and the sliced chilli (to taste) to the pot. Fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Pour in the tomato passata and 150ml of water. Bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until slightly reduced, 10-15 minutes. Season and add a sweetener.
SENSATIONAL SAMBAL
While the curry is simmering, add the diced tomato and the remaining onion (to taste) to a bowl. Toss with the grated carrot, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning, and set aside.
POPPING POPS
Place a clean pan over medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, shallow fry the poppadom, about 30 seconds per side. As soon as the poppadom starts to curl, use tongs to flip it over and flatten it out. Keep flipping and flattening until golden and puffed up.
EAT IT UP
Bowl up the fluffy rice and the delicious vindaloo curry. Dollop over the raita. Serve the sambal and the crispy poppadom on the side. Scatter over the toasted noodles & cashews and there you have it!
