Ingredients

Basmati

  • 2 cups basmati rice
  • 3 cups water
  • 45g thread coconut

Curry

  • 600g beef rump steaks (at room temperature)
  • 1 Tbsp rogan josh paste
  • 1 brown onion
  • 2 carrots
  • 1 Tbsp finely grated ginger
  • Remaining rogan josh paste
  • 1 can chopped tomatoes
  • 1 cup beef stock
  • ½ bag baby spinach

Cucumber Yoghurt

  • ½ telegraph cucumber

  • 2 Tbsp mint

Steps

  1. Combine rice, water, coconut and a pinch of salt in a 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.
  2. Pat beef dry, season, rub with first measure of rogan josh paste and set aside. Thinly slice onion and grate carrots.
  3. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on mediumhigh heat. Cook beef for 3-4 minutes each side, depending on thickness, or until medium. Set aside, covered to rest. Wipe pan and return to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil.
  4. Add onion and carrots to pan and cook for about 4 minutes until onion is tender. Add ginger and remaining rogan josh paste and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add chopped tomatoes and stock and simmer for about 8 minutes until carrots are tender and curry has thickened. Stir through spinach and season to taste.
  5. While curry is cooking, finely dice cucumber. Add to a small bowl along with yoghurt and mix to combine. Thinly slice beef, add back to pan along with any resting juices and stir to coat.
  6. To serve, spoon ¾ cup of cooked rice per person into bowls and top with curry, a dollop of cucumber yoghurt and a sprinkle of mint.
