Instructions
• Finely chop garlic. • In a medium saucepan, heat the butter with a dash of olive oil over medium heat. Cook half the garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add the water (for the rice), jasmine rice and a generous pinch of salt. Stir, then bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. • Cook for 12 minutes, then remove from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10-15 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so don't peek!
• While the rice is cooking, thinly slice carrot into half-moons. • Trim asparagus, then cut into bite-sized chunks. • Drain and rinse chickpeas.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add carrot and cook, tossing, until tender, 3-4 minutes. • SPICY! This is a mild curry paste, but use less if you're sensitive to heat! Add remaining garlic, tomato paste, Bengal curry paste, Mumbai spice blend and vegetable stock powder. Cook, stirring until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add chickpeas and the water (for the curry) and stir to combine. Simmer until thickened, 2-3 minutes.
• Add cream (see ingredients), asparagus and the brown sugar to the pan. Simmer until veggies are tender, 5-6 minutes.
• Stir through baby leaves until wilted, 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Divide garlic rice between bowls and top with Indian chickpea curry. • Tear over mint and garnish with crushed peanuts to serve. Enjoy!
