Cooking Steps

Cook the rice
1

• In a medium saucepan, heat half the butter with a 
dash of olive oil over medium heat.
• Add basmati rice, the water (for the rice) and a 
generous pinch of salt. Stir, then bring to the boil.
• Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid.
• Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from heat 
and keep covered until rice is tender and water is 
absorbed, 10 minutes. 
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so 
don’t peek! 

Get prepped
2

• When the rice has 10 minutes remaining, roughly 
chop tomato.
• Drain chickpeas. 
• Finely chop garlic.
• In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine half the 
garlic and a drizzle of olive oil.
• Microwave in 10 second bursts until fragrant. 
Season to taste with salt and pepper. 

Start the curry
3

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over 
medium-high heat. Add tomato and chickpeas and 
cook, until softened, 2-3 minutes.
• Add tomato paste, mild curry paste, Mumbai spice 
blend and the remaining garlic and butter and cook 
stirring, until softened and fragrant, 1-2 minutes. 

Finish the curry
4

• Reduce heat to medium, then stir in light cooking 
cream, the water (for the curry) and brown sugar
and cook until combined and slightly reduced, 
2-3 minutes.
• Add baby spinach leaves and cook, stirring, until 
slightly wilted, 1 minute. 

Make the garlic tortillas
5

• Meanwhile, preheat grill to high. Brush garlic oil
over one side of mini flourtortillas.
• Place tortillas on a lined oven tray and bake until 
golden, 3-5 minutes. 
TIP: Spread tortillas across two trays if it is getting 
crowded! 

Finish & serve
6

• Add flaked almonds to the rice, stir to combine.
• Divide almond rice between bowls.
• Spoon over creamy Indian chickpea and spinach 
curry. Top with Greek-style yoghurt and tamarind
chutney. Serve with garlic tortillas. Enjoy!
