Ingredients
- 500 g lamb mince
- 6 teaspoons curry powder See Note 1, mild
- 500 g basmati rice See Note 2, cooked
- 150 g peas frozen
Optional extras
- salt to taste (optional – see Note 3)
- chilli flakes optional - see Note 4, and/or sliced fresh
- red chilli optional - see Note 4, and/or sliced fresh
Instructions
- Heat a non-stick wok or a very large non-stick frying pan over a high heat for 1 minute.
- Add the lamb mince and stir-fry for 3 minutes, or until nicely browned. Breaking the lamb mince up as much as possible as you fry it.
- Drain off as much of the fat off as possible.
- Turn the heat down to medium and add the curry powder. Continue stir-frying for 1 minute.
- Add the cooked rice and continue stir-frying for 3 minutes.
- Add the frozen peas and continue stir-frying for 2 more minutes, or until the peas are cooked.
- Serve on its own, or with naan bread, lime pickle and mango chutney
Notes
- Quantity of curry powder will depend hugely on the brand you use and your own personal tastes. Personally, I use 6-8 teaspoons of Schwartz Mild Curry Powder*. I recommend you err on the side of caution the first time you make this curry – you can always add more, but you can’t take it away!
- I use 2 x 250g / 9oz pouches of microwave basmati rice to speed up the cooking process and make this recipe even simpler. But, if you prefer, you can use ordinary uncooked basmati rice instead. You will need to use approximately 170g uncooked rice. Cook according to packet instructions then cool the hot rice in a sieve under cold water until it’s properly cold, and drain thoroughly. **TOP TIP: break up the microwave rice by massaging it while it is still in the closed packet. This will ensure the cooked rice is beautifully separated and not in one big clump!**
- I find using about a quarter teaspoon of salt really brings out the flavours in this dish
- Depending on how hot you like your food, you may like to add some additional chillies – either dried chilli flakes or sliced fresh red chillies.
- Not suitable for freezing.
