Ingredients
Tick them off as you go.
Method
Heat the oil in a heavy pot and fry the onion until soft and golden.
Stir in the tomato paste and fry for 5 minutes, until it darkens.
Add the chopped tomatoes and the pepper blend. Cook for 15 minutes, stirring, until thick and the oil rises to the top.
Add the curry powder, thyme, bay leaves, stock and salt, then stir in the rice.
Cover tightly with foil and the lid and cook on low heat for 30 minutes, until the rice is tender. Don’t stir; let the bottom catch a little for that smoky flavour.
Fluff with a fork and scatter over the cashews just before serving.
