Curry on rice is all well and good, but when the rice itself is cooked with the curry paste? Now that’s magical. Studded with sweet currants and roasted cauliflower, this dish packs flavour in every bite.

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Cut cauliflower into small florets. Thinly slice onion (see ingredients). Thinly slice carrot into rounds. Finely chop garlic. • Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks.
• Place cauliflower on a lined oven tray. • Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat, spread out evenly, then roast until tender and brown around the edges, 20-25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook chicken, onion and carrot, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. • SPICY! This is a mild curry paste, but use less if you're sensitive to heat! Add another drizzle of olive oil, the Bengal curry paste, garlic, Mumbai spice blend and a pinch of chilli flakes (if using) and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Add basmati rice and currants to the frying pan and stir to coat. Add the warm water (11/2 cups for 2 people / 3 cups for 4 people) and vegetable stock powder, stir to dissolve, then bring to the boil. • Cover with a lid and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove pan from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!
• While the rice is cooking, roughly chop coriander (reserve some for garnish!). • When the rice is done, gently stir through chopped coriander, crushed peanuts, baby leaves and roasted cauliflower. Season to taste.
• Divide roast cauliflower and chicken Bengali biryani between bowls. • Dollop with Greek-style yoghurt. • Garnish with reserved coriander to serve. Enjoy!
