Cooking Steps
Finely chop the garlic. In a medium saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil and the plant-based butter over a medium-high heat. Cook the brown mustard seeds and 1/2 the garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the basmati rice, water (for the rice) and a generous pinch of salt, stir, then bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from the heat and keep covered until the rice is tender and the 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 the red onion (see ingredients). Roughly chop the tomato and mint. Thinly slice the cucumber into half-moons. Drain and rinse the cannellini beans.
In a medium bowl, combine the white wine vinegar and a good pinch of sugar and salt. Add the cucumber to the pickling liquid with just enough water to cover the cucumber. Stir to coat and set aside.
In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Cook the onion and tomato until tender, 3-4 minutes. Add the Mumbai spice blend, mild North Indian spice blend and remaining garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Reduce the heat to medium, then add the cannellini beans, plant-based cream (see ingredients), vegetable stock powder and water (for the curry). Simmer until slightly thickened, 3-4 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat, then add the baby spinach leaves. Season and stir until wilted. Set aside. Drain the pickled cucumber, return to the bowl, then add the mint and a drizzle of olive oil. Stir to combine and season to taste.
Divide the garlic rice and cannellini bean veggie korma between bowls. Garnish with the crushed roasted cashews. Serve with the pickled cucumber salsa.
