Cooking Instructions
Instructions for 2 people (double for 4)
1
Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C (fan)/ 395°F/ Gas 6
Boil a kettle
Cut the cauliflower[s] into small florets and discard the stalk[s]
Deseed the red pepper[s] (scrape the seeds and pith out with a teaspoon) and cut into large, bite-sized pieces
2
Add the chopped cauliflower and pepper to a baking tray with a drizzle of vegetable oil and a pinch of salt
Put the tray in the oven for 20-25 min or until softened
3
While the vegetables are in the oven, peel and finely slice the brown onion[s]
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a generous drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium heat
Once hot, add the sliced onion with a pinch of salt and cook for 4-5 min or until softened
4
While the onion softens, cut the tomatoes into wedges
Slice the red chilli[es] in half
Dissolve the Knorr vegetable stock cube[s] and tomato paste in 300ml [500ml]boiled water – this is your tomato stock
Once the onion has softened, add the garlic & ginger paste, curry powder and ground fenugreek and cook for 1 min or until fragrant
5
Add the basmati rice, star anise and 300ml [600ml]cold water to a pot with a lid and a pinch of salt and bring to the boil over a high heat
Once boiling, reduce the heat to very low and cook, covered, for 10-12 min or until all the water has been absorbed and the rice is cooked
Once cooked, remove from the heat and keep covered until serving – this is your fragrant basmati rice
6
Add the tomato wedges and halved red chilli (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) to the pan with the tomato stock and green beans and cook for 5-6 min or until the beans have softened and the sauce has thickened
Stir the roasted cauliflower and pepper through the curry – this is your vegetable balti
7
Add the flaked almonds to a baking tray (use the same one you used earlier!) and put the tray in the oven for 2-3 min or until lightly toasted
Tip: Watch these like a hawk so you don't burn them!
