Cooking the Rice:

Firstly rinse the rice to remove the starch.

Add the rice to a pan of boiling water along with the podded peas and sultanas.

Add a little salt and 2 tsp of the ground cumin and 2 tsp of paprika.

Add the lid and leave the rice to simmer away happily until the curry is finished.  If it starts boiling over reduce the heat or remove the lid.

Add the thickly chopped onion now (if you still want a little crunch to it. If you prefer it softer add the onion before you added the chicken and beef).

Now add the tin of chopped tomatoes and reduce the heat. Cover with a lid to keep the water from evaporating off.

Simmer for about 5 minutes.

Add a tin of Chopped tomatoes to the Curry

Add your Chilli and Cocoa bean spice mix (or one you’ve made yourself with chopped fresh chilli and squares of dark chocolate).

Stir in well.

Add a beef stock cube to give it a little more beefy flavour – stir in well.

Drain the rice and serve with the curry.

Plate up some Moroccan bread on the side (or roti bread which you can make before).

Alternatively any thick crusted bread goes well with this curry.

Enjoy!
