  • 50g veggie korma paste
  • ½ punnet cherry tomatoes, roughly chopped
  • 1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can coconut milk (shake well before opening)
  • 100g paneer, diced 1cm
  • ½ bunch kale leaves, stalk removed and leaves roughly chopped

SPICED RICE

  • 2 teaspoons rice spices

Steps

  1. oven to 230°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper
  2. Toss kumara with a drizzle of oil on prepared tray. Season with salt and roast for about 15 minutes, until tender. Turn once to ensure even cooking. While kumara cooks, heat a drizzle of oil in a medium pot on medium heat and cook rice spices for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
  3. Add rice, water and a pinch of salt to pot and bring to the boil. As soon as it boils, cover with a tight-fitting lid and reduce to lowest heat to cook for 12 minutes. Turn off heat and leave to steam, still covered, for a further 8 minutes. Do not lift lid during cooking.
  4. While rice cooks, heat a drizzle of oil in a large, deep fry-pan on medium-high heat and cook onion for 2-3 minutes, until softened. Add garlic, tomato paste and korma paste and cook a further 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Add cherry tomatoes and chickpeas and cook for about 2 minutes, until tomatoes soften.
  5. Add coconut milk, reduce heat to low-medium and simmer for about 8 minutes, until thickened. Stir through paneer, kale and roasted kumara and cook for about 1 minute, until warmed through. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  6. In a small bowl, mix kasundi and yoghurt together.
  7. divide spiced rice between bowls and ladle over plenty of chickpea korma. Dollop with kasundi yoghurt and sprinkle with micro-coriander.
