• Finely chop garlic. • In a medium saucepan, heat the butter with a dash of olive oil over medium heat. Cook garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add basmati rice, the water and a generous pinch of salt, stir, then bring to the boil. • Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from heat and keep covered until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 10 minutes.
TIP: The rice will continue cooking in its own steam, so don't peek!
• Meanwhile, cut carrot and zucchini into half-moons. • Zest lemon to get a generous pinch, then slice into wedges. Drain chickpeas. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add carrot and zucchini and cook, stirring, until slightly softened, 4-5 minutes. • Add ginger paste, mild curry paste and tomato paste and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add chickpeas and cook, stirring, until tender, 2-3 minutes.
• Stir in coconut milk, vegetable stock pot, lemon zest, the brown sugar and a generous squeeze of lemon juice. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat to medium. Simmer until veggies are softened, 3-4 minutes. • Add baby spinach leaves and cook until wilted, 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide garlic rice between bowls. Top with chickpea and tomato curry. • Sprinkle with flaked almonds and a pinch of chilli flakes (if using). Serve with any remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
