Cooking Instructions
Before you start
- 1x medium saucepan
- 1x large saucepan
Set the rice simmering
- Cook the rice in boiling water for 10-12 mins until cooked, then drain.
- Stir the nigella seeds through the rice.
Time to fry!
- Meanwhile, peel the onions and dice into 2cm cubes. Finely dice the chilli (deseed for less heat).
- Spritz a large non-stick frying pan with cooking spray and put it over a medium heat. Fry the onions, chilli (to taste) and tomatoes for 4-5 mins.
Build your curry
- Add the mince, curry powder and ginger & garlic paste to the pan and fry for 3-4 mins until browned.
- Tip in the passata, crumble in half the stock cube and pour in 150ml water (use all the stock and 250ml water for 4 portions). Stir well and simmer for 5 mins, until the turkey is cooked through.
Plate up
- At the same time, roughly chop half the coriander. Halve the lemon and cut 1 half into wedges.
- Stir the peas into the curry, add the chopped coriander and squeeze in the juice from the lemon half (to taste).
- Dish up the curry with the rice and lemon wedges, then scatter over the remaining coriander to serve.
