Veggie Tikka Masala and Steamed Wholegrain Rice

Meanwhile, halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Cut into 1cm chunks.

Trim the green beans and cut into thirds.

Trim the courgette, then quarter lengthways. Chop widthways into 1cm pieces.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium heat.

Once hot, add the onion, courgette and pepper chunks and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 4-5 mins. 

Stir in the garlic, tikka masala paste and tomato puree. Cook for 1 min more.

Pour the creme fraiche, veg stock paste and water for the curry (see pantry for amount) into the pan. Bring to the boil, stirring to combine, then reduce the heat to medium.

Stir in the green beans, then cover with a lid (or foil) and simmer until the veg is almost tender, 8-9 mins. 

Remove the lid, then allow the curry to simmer until thickened, stirring occasionally, 3-4 mins.

Once the curry has thickened and the veg has softened, remove from the heat.

Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Add a splash of water if it's a little too thick.
