Ingredients

Rice

  • 1 cup brown rice
  • 1¼ cups water

Tikka Masala

  • 1 brown onion
  • 1 baby bok choy
  • 1 carrot
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 40g tikka masala paste
  • ½ cup vegetable stock
  • ½ can chopped tomatoes
  • 125g frozen peas
  • 200g paneer
  • ¼ cup lite sour cream

To Serve

  • 3 roti breads
  • 1-2 Tbsp chopped coriander

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C. Combine rice, water 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 15 minutes. Turn off heat and leave to steam, still covered, for a further 8 minutes. Do not lift lid during cooking.
  2. Thinly slice onion and bok choy, and dice carrot 1cm. Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium (preferably deep) fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook onion, carrot and salt for 3-4 minutes, until starting to soften.
  3. Add tikka masala paste to pan and cook for a further 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Add stock and canned tomatoes, bring to a gentle simmer and cook for about 6 minutes, until sauce is thickened and carrot is tender.
  4. Stir through peas, paneer and bok choy and cook for a further 2-3 minutes, until warmed through. Stir through sour cream and season to taste.
  5. While curry is simmering, wrap roti breads in foil and place in oven for 6-8 minutes, until warmed through. Remove from oven and keep covered, until ready to serve.
  6. To serve, place ¾ cup cooked brown rice into bowls and top with paneer tikka masala. Garnish with coriander and serve roti on the side.
