1 packet
beef strips

Mumbai Spice Blend
½ packet

Chicken-Style Stock Powder
olive oil
20 g
butter
(Contains: Milk; )
1.5 cup
water (for the rice)
1 tsp
brown sugar
½ cup
water (for the curry)

• Finely chop garlic. • In a medium saucepan, heat the butter with a dash of olive oil over medium heat. Cook garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add basmati rice, the water (for the rice) and a generous pinch of salt, stir, then bring to 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 the water is absorbed, 10 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!

• Thinly slice celery. • Thinly slice carrot into half-moons. • Finely chop tomato.

• When the rice has 10 minutes remaining, discard any liquid from beef strips packaging. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. • When oil is hot, cook beef strips in batches, tossing, until browned and cooked through, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
TIP: Cooking the meat in batches over a high heat helps keep it tender

• Return the frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook celery and carrot until slightly softened, 4-5 minutes. • Add Mumbai spice blend and tomato paste (see ingredients), and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Stir through coconut milk, chicken-style stock powder, the brown sugar and the water (for the curry) and stir to combine. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until curry has reduced slightly, 2-3 minutes.

• Return beef strips to pan and stir to combine. Season with pepper.

• Divide garlic rice between bowls. • Top with Mumbai coconut beef and veggie curry to serve. Enjoy!
