Instructions

Roast the Broccoli
1

a) Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Fill and boil your kettle.

b) Halve any large broccoli florets. Pop them onto a baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer, then sprinkle over half the cumin seeds.

c) When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until the edges are crispy and slightly charred, 12-15 mins. Turn halfway through.

Cook the Rice
2

a) While the cauli roasts, pour the boiled water into a large saucepan with 1/4 tsp salt on high heat.

b) Add the rice and cook for 10-12 mins.

c) Once cooked, drain in a sieve and pop back in the pan. Cover with a lid and leave to the side until ready to serve.

Build the Spicy Flavour
3

a) Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

b) Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.

c) Once hot, add the tikka paste, garlic and remaining cumin seeds. Stir-fry until fragrant, 30 secs.

Simmer and Stir
4

a) Pour the passata, veg stock paste and water for the curry (see pantry for amount) into the pan.

b) Stir through the creme fraiche.

c) Bring to the boil, then turn the heat down slightly. Simmer until thickened, 4-5 mins, stirring occasionally.

Bring on the Veg
5

a) Once the sauce has thickened, stir through the peas, red pepper chilli jelly and butter (see pantry for amount).

b) Once cooked, gently stir the roasted broccoli through the sauce.

c) Cook until piping hot, 1-2 mins, then remove from the heat.

d) Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.

Serve

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Many enjoyed the dish's taste, though some found it a bit bland or too spicy; adding coconut milk or honey could balance the flavours.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and easy to prepare, with most customers appreciating the 20-minute cooking time for a flavourful meal.
  • Suggestions: Consider using cauliflower instead of broccoli for better roasting results; add paneer or chickpeas for extra protein.
  • Next-day meals: The dish reheats well, making it suitable for leftovers.
  • Texture: Roasting the broccoli adds a nice crunch, but some found it became tough; stir-frying could be an alternative.
