Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 onion chopped
- 1 garlic clove crushed
- 1 carrot diced
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 tsp curry powder you can choose spice level
- 300 g basmati rice
- 1/2 tin of chopped tomatoes
- 300 ml vegetable stock made with 1 stock cube
- 2 parsley sprigs
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a medium saucepan. Once hot, fry the chopped onion and crushed garlic.
- Add the diced carrots and stir all together. Squeeze in the tomato paste, and add curry power. Give it all a good stir so it coats the veg.
- Pour in the rice and stir again to coat. Add the tin of tomatoes and vegetable stock. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes, until the rice is nice and fluffy and the water has evaporated. Serve with a sprig of parsley.

Notes
- Storage - Store any leftover rice in a sealed Tupperware in the fridge. It'll keep for 2 days.
- Freezing - Spread out onto a baking sheet and leave to cool. Scoop up into a reusable freezer bag, label and freeze for 2 months. Take out of the bag and defrost in a microwave for 2-3 minutes. Check it's piping hot before eating.
- Re-heating - It's best to re-heat this rice in a microwave: 2 mins on high. Check it's piping hot before serving.
