Linda's own recipe!

Ingredients

  • 250g cooked baby potatoes
  • 1 big white onion
  • 2 cloves garlic (or to taste - use lots if you like it)
  • 1 large courgette
  • 125g mushrooms (or use lots if you like them)
  • 2 teaspoons of garam masala powder
  • 1 teaspoon each of cumin seeds, black pepper and cinnamon
  • 4 tablespoons soya cream
  • 1 cup basmati rice per person
  • Extra virgin olive oil for frying
  • Handful of flaked almonds (optional)
  • Handful of sultanas (optional)
  • Handful of chopped coriander (optional)

Method

  • Dice the potatoes and slice the onion, pan fry in the oil until golden.
  • Add crushed garlic, courgettes and mushrooms, stir in a teaspoon of garam masala, add salt to taste and add a little water (about a tablespoon).
  • Leave to simmer and in the meantime, cook the basmati rice by using 2 cups of water to 1 cup rice (or play it by ear), adding the spices - this makes the pilau rice.
  • Add the rice to the vegetables and add some flaked almonds and sultanas (if wanted).
  • After about 3 minutes, take off heat and add 4 tablespoons of soya cream and stir in.
  • Serve straight away with a handful of chopped coriander as garnish, if wanted.
