Cooking Instructions and Tips

1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

Pour the water for the rice (see pantry for amount) into a medium saucepan with a tight-fitting lid.

Stir in the rice, 0.25 tsp salt and bring to the boil. Once boiling, turn the heat down to medium and cover with the lid.

Leave to cook for 10 mins, then remove the pan from the heat (still covered) and leave to the side for another 10 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).

2

Meanwhile, halve any large cauliflower florets and pop them onto a large baking tray.

Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer.

When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden brown and tender, 15-20 mins. Turn halfway through.

3

In the meantime, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Trim the green beans and chop into thirds.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the green beans and stir-fry until starting to char, 2-3 mins.

Add the garlic, Sri Lankan style curry powder and tomato puree to the pan. Stir-fry for 30 secs. 

4

Next, stir in the coconut milk, veg stock paste, honey and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts).

Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer until slightly thickened, 5-6 mins. Add a splash of water if it gets too thick.

5

Once the curry has thickened, season with salt and pepper. 

When cauliflower is roasted, add to the curry and stir through. Taste and season with more salt and pepper if needed. 

6

Fluff up the rice with a fork and share out between your serving bowls.

Spoon over the cauliflower curry and drizzle on the tamarind chutney to finish. 

Enjoy!
