MICROWAVE GARAM MASALA VEGETABLE CURRY

Steps:

• Put the coconut oil in a microwavable dish or bowl and cook for 30 seconds or until melted. Add the chopped onion, stir well and cook for another 1 min.
• Add the ginger, garlic, tomato purée, turmeric, spices and a good pinch of salt to the cooked onions. Stir well and cook for 1 min to warm up the spices - you will be able to smell them when you open the microwave.
• Add the tomatoes, spinach leaves, chickpeas, coconut milk and chopped coriander, and stir well. Cook for 2 mins, then stir again, followed by another 2 mins. The curry should be bubbling slightly. If not, give it another minute.

EASY VEGGIE BIRYANI

Steps:

• Boil the kettle. Get out a large microwaveable bowl and pile in the rice, veg and raisins.
• Pour 600ml/1 pint boiling water over the rice mixture and crumble in the stock cube, then stir in the curry paste. Cover the bowl with cling film, leaving a small gap at the side to let out the steam. Cook on full power (850 watts) for 12 minutes - if your microwave is less powerful, add 2 minutes.
• Remove from the microwave and stand, still covered, for 5 minutes to complete the cooking - if you don't let it stand the rice will be too nutty. Fluff up the rice, scatter with cashews and serve.
