Ingredients

  • Cashew: a generous handful of roasted salted cashew nuts
  • Vegetable Stock: 1 vegetable stock cube
  • Vegetable: 400g special mixed frozen vegetables
  • Basmati Rice: 250g basmati rice
  • Raisin: a generous handful of raisins
  • Curry Paste: 2 tbsp korma curry paste

Directions

  1. Boil the kettle. Get out a large microwaveable bowl and pile in the rice, veg and raisins.
  2. Pour 600ml/1 pint boiling water over the rice mixture and crumble in the stock cube, then stir in the curry paste. Cover the bowl with cling film, leaving a small gap at the side to let out the steam. Cook on full power (850 watts) for 12 minutes - if your microwave is less powerful, add 2 minutes.
  3. Remove from the microwave and stand, still covered, for 5 minutes to complete the cooking - if you don't let it stand the rice will be too nutty. Fluff up the rice, scatter with cashews and serve.
