Cooking Steps
Boil a full kettle.
Halve the pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Pour the boiled water into a large saucepan with 1/4 tsp salt on high heat. Add the rice and cook for 10-12 mins.
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.
Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in large frying pan on medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the mushrooms and pepper. Season with salt and pepper and fry, stirring occasionally, until browned, 5-6 mins.
Add the garlic, rogan josh curry paste and cumin seeds to the pan. Stir-fry until fragrant, 1 min.
Stir in the water for the sauce (see pantry for amount) and vegetable stock paste.
Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer until slightly thickened, 1-2 mins.
Once thickened, add the peas and the cooked rice to the pan and gently mix together until combined.
Cook, stirring, until piping hot, 1-2 mins, then remove from the heat.
Stir through the mango chutney and season with salt and pepper.
Share the veggie pilaf between your bowls.
Top with a dollop of yoghurt and sprinkle over the flaked almonds to finish.
Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: Opinions are genuinely mixed — some find the dish full of flavour and surprisingly delicious, while others feel it lacks depth or comes across as one-note.
- Ease of prep: Quick and straightforward to put together, making it a good option for a fuss-free weeknight meal.
- Suggestions: If the cumin seeds feel overpowering, try using a smaller amount or swapping for ground cumin; adding chilli flakes or fresh chillies can help lift the overall flavour. Stirring the yoghurt into the sauce rather than dolloping it on top, or using coconut milk in place of water, are worth trying for a richer result.
- Next-day meals: Some felt the dish was more side-dish than main; adding protein such as a fried egg, halloumi, chickpeas, or paneer helps make it more satisfying. Extras like sultanas, cashews, or additional vegetables such as courgette, carrot, or baby corn also work well to bulk it out.
