Instructions

Step 1

Heat the oil in a large, thick-bottomed saucepan on medium heat and toss in the onions. Fry for 5 minutes until translucent.

Step 2

Add the garlic, ginger, chilli and carrots and fry for a further couple of minutes.

Step 3

Add in the chickpeas (juices and all), sultanas and remaining veggies and mix until we’ll incorporated. Stir in the spices and then add the rice and stock. Bring to the boil and then cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, mixing occasionally to ensure that it doesn’t stick.

Step 4

Turn off the heat and fluff the rice grains up with a fork before covering and letting it sit for 5 minutes before serving.
