Ingredients

  • 200g basmati rice
  • 1 tbsp of olive oil
  • 1 butternut squash, diced
  • 1 red onion, diced
  • 2 tbsp of mild curry paste
  • 300ml of vegetable stock
  • 4 large tomatoes, roughly chopped
  • 400g can of chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 3 tbsp fat-free Greek yoghurt
  • A small handful of freshly chopped coriander 

Method

Cook the rice in boiling salted water, as per pack instructions. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan and cook the butternut squash for 2-3 min until lightly browned. Add the onion and the curry paste and continue to fry for 3-4 min more.

Pour over the stock, then cover and simmer for 15-20 min, or until the squash is tender. Add the tomatoes and chickpeas, then gently cook for 3-4 min, until the tomatoes slightly soften.

Take off the heat and stir through the yoghurt and coriander. Serve your curry with the rice and enjoy!
