I always make more of the chickpea curry than I need. I freeze the leftovers. Sometimes I use the leftovers to make this easy pilaf rice, which is tasty, quick, as well as filling.

Serves 4

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Wash and drain rice.

  2. Heat the chickpea curry in a pan.

  3. Add the rice, stir well to coat the rice with the mix.

  4. Add the water, bring to boil.

  5. Turn the heat down, taste and adjust salt and seasoning.

  6. Cook covered until all water is absorbed and rice is cooked. This takes about 10 minutes.

  7. Do not keep opening the lid to have a peep! Glass lid pans are better for this reason.

  8. You can garnish it with deep fried onions and cashew nuts. Serve hot with roasted/grilled papads (papodoms), fresh natural yoghurt and pickles of choice.
