Method

  • Cook the rice according to the packet instructions.
  • Dessed and thinly slice the bell pepper. Chop the broccoli into florets. You can also chop the stalks and use them too. Add to the pan and fry for another couple of minutes.
  • Tip in the chickpeas, coconut milk and tamari sauce. Stir well until all combined and simmer for around 8 - 10 minutes.
  • Stir in half the basil leaves, mangetout and spinach and heat through.
  • Plate up the curry with therice and scatter with the rest of the basil leaves.
