• In a medium saucepan, heat the butter with a dash of olive oil over medium heat. Cook 1/2 the garlic paste until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add basmati rice, water (for the rice) and a pinch of salt, stir, then bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. • Cook for 10 minutes, then remove 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! TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the garlic paste starts to spatter!
• While the rice is cooking, combine beef mince, fine breadcrumbs, the egg, mild North Indian spice blend and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl. • Using damp hands, roll heaped spoonfuls of beef mixture into small meatballs (5-6 per person). Transfer to a plate.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, cook meatballs, turning, until browned and cooked through, 8-10 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• While the meatballs are cooking, thinly slice carrot into half-moons. Trim and halve green beans. • Roughly chop capsicum. Cut baby broccoli into thirds.
• Return the frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook carrot, capsicum, green beans and baby broccoli until softened, 6-7 minutes. • Add Mumbai spice blend, tomato paste and remaining garlic paste and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add the brown sugar, coconut milk and water (for the sauce), then return the meatballs to the pan. • Cook until the sauce has thickened slightly, 2-3 minutes. Season to taste.
• Divide garlic rice between bowls. Top with Mumbai beef meatball and green bean curry. • Serve with Greek-style yoghurt. Enjoy!
