Cooking Steps

1

• Preheat oven to 240°C/200°C fan-forced. • Chop cauliflower into small florets. Thickly slice zucchini into half-moons. • Thinly slice brown onion (see ingredients). Thinly slice carrot into rounds. Finely chop garlic.

2

• Place cauliflower and zucchini on a lined oven tray. • Drizzle generously with olive oil, sprinkle with mild North Indian spice blend and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. • Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.

TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the veggies between two oven trays.

3

• Meanwhile, heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook onion and carrot, stirring, until onion is softened, 5 minutes. • Add Bengal curry paste, ginger paste and garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute.

4

• Add basmati rice and currants, stirring to coat. Add the water and vegetable stock powder, then bring to the boil. • Cover, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until rice is tender and water is absorbed,16-18 minutes

TIP: Add a little extra water if the liquid is absorbed before the rice is tender!

5

• While the biryani is cooking, roughly chop roasted almonds. • When the biryani is ready, add baby spinach leaves and stir through until just wilted. Stir through almonds and roast veggies. • Season to taste with salt and pepper.

TIP: Seasoning is key in this dish! Taste and season with more salt and pepper if needed.

6

• Divide roast cauliflower and zucchini biryani between bowls. • Top with a dollop of Greek-style yoghurt. • Sprinkle with crispy shallots. • Tear over coriander leaves to serve. Enjoy!
