Curry on rice is all well and good, but when the rice itself is cooked with the curry paste? Now that’s magical. Studded with sweet currants, fresh herbs, prawns and roasted cauliflower, this Indian-inspired dish delivers flavour with every bite.

Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1

• Preheat oven to 220ºC/200ºC fan-forced.
• Chop cauliflower into small florets.
• Trim green beans and roughly chop.
• Thinly slice brown onion (see ingredients).
• Finely chop garlic. 

Roast the cauliflower
2

• Place cauliflower on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with 
olive oil, sprinkle with Mumbai spice blend and 
season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. 
• Roast until tender and brown around the edges, 
20-25 minutes. 


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

Start the biryani
3

• Meanwhile, heat a large saucepan over  
medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
• Cook onion, stirring, until slightly softened,  
4-5 minutes.
• Add another drizzle of olive oil, Bengal curry paste 
(see ingredients) and garlic, then cook, stirring 
until fragrant, 1 minute.

Add the rice & currants

• To the saucepan, add basmati rice and currants, 
stirring to coat.
• Add green beans, the water and stock 
concentrate, then bring to the boil.
• Cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for  
12 minutes, then remove pan from heat.
• Keep covered until rice is tender and the water is 
absorbed, 15 minutes.


TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so 
don’t peek!
