Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 220C / 200C fan / gas mark 7 / 425F.
  • Place all the ingredients for the Cumin Roasted Aubergine and Cauliflower in a large oven tray and toss together. When the oven has reached the right temperature, roast the vegetables for 20 minutes or until soft.
  • Meanwhile, put the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the diced onion in a large frying pan or sauté pan (must have a lid), fry gently for 3 minutes or until softened but not browned.
  • Turn up the heat and add the lamb mince, fry for 2-3 minutes until browned.
  • Reduce the heat again and add the garlic, chilli and spices and fry for 2 minutes.
  • Add the rice and stir to coat the rice in the onions, mince and spices, then add the coconut milk and water and bring to the boil. Put a lid on the frying pan and turn the heat right down, simmer for 10-12 minutes or until the rice is done to your liking. If it starts sticking before the rice is cooked, add an extra splash of water.
  • Finally stir in the roasted aubergine and cauliflower and 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh coriander.
  • Sprinkle extra coriander on top and serve with all your favourite extras, such as naan breads, pickles and chutneys.
