Instructions

Step 1

Put the rice on to cook, in whichever way you prefer.

Step 2

In a food processor or blender, blitz the onion, ginger and garlic thoroughly until it’s a smooth paste. This can take some time. Don’t add water.

Step 3

Heat the butter in a large pan, and add the paste, allowing it to sweat and reduce gradually. Add salt to help this along.

Step 4

Then add the spices, then the tomato paste and vegetables, and the stock. Allow to simmer until the vegetables are all cooked. Stir through the yoghurt to thicken, and add more salt as necessary. Serve when done.
