  1. HEAT TO EAT

    See cooking instructions on the masala chickpea curry packaging. When it’s done heating, add seasoning, and stir.

  2. QUICK PREP

    Whilst the curry is heating, rinse the rice. Rinse, pick, and roughly chop the coriander. Trim, peel, and grate ½ the Carrot. Grate the Cucumber and squeeze out all the liquid using a clean kitchen towel. Trim and finely slice the spring onion. De-seed and finely slice the chilli.

  3. BASMATI RICE

    Place the rinsed rice in a pot with 200ml of salted water. Cover with a lid 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. Add ½ the chopped coriander, fluff with a fork and cover.

  4. VEGAN RAITA

    In a bowl, combine the coconut yoghurt with the grated Cucumber and seasoning. Set aside.

  5. Carrot SAMBAL

    In a separate bowl, place the grated Carrot and the sliced spring onions (to taste). Drizzle with the lemon juice, and season. Toss and set aside.

  6. POPPADOMS

    Place a pan over medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, shallow fry the poppadoms one at a time, 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. Alternatively, heat the poppadoms in the microwave until crispy, 20-30 seconds.

  7. EAT UP!

    Serve up a bowl of steaming coriander rice and top with the chickpea curry. Dollop over the raita and sprinkle over the sliced Chilli (to taste). Serve the Carrot sambal and crispy poppadoms on the side. Garnish with the remaining coriander. Wow, Chef!
