One Pot Spicy Rice Recipes

Steps:

• Chop the onion, green pepper and chilli. In a large, deep frying pan or wok, fry these ingredients for a few minutes until they soften.
• Add the rice into the pan, followed by the water. Stir the rice, making sure it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.
• You may want to add the water in bit by bit as it gets absorbed. This will make sure you don't use too much water and get soggy rice.
• Stir in the turmeric, chilli powder and garam masala (if using). Bring the rice to the boil and add the peas.
• Simmer until the rice has absorbed the water and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Rinse and soak the rice for 10 mins. Heat a large, ovenproof saucepan. Add the oil, then the onion, garlic and ginger. Cook on a low heat until the onion is soft. Add the cloves, cinnamon and cardamom pods and cook for a further 2 mins on a low heat. Add the curry powder and cook for a further 2 mins, then stir.
• Drain the rice and add it to the saucepan. Stir so that the rice is coated in the oil and spices. Add the peas, sweetcorn and half the flaked almonds, if using. Pour over the stock and stir.
• Cover the pan with a lid or with a sheet of foil, then cook in the oven for 15-20 mins. Remove from the oven, scatter with the remaining almonds, if using, and serve.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large nonstick pan that has a lid, then fry the garlic and curry paste over a medium heat for 1 minute, until it smells toasty.
• Tip the rice into the pan with the stock, chickpeas and raisins and stir with a fork to stop the rice from clumping. Season with salt and pepper, then cover and bring to the boil. Reduce to a medium heat and cook for 12-15 minutes or until all the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is tender.
• Squeeze the excess water from the spinach with your hands. Tip it into the pan along with 2 tbsp of hot water and fluff up the rice with a fork, making sure the spinach is mixed in well. Toss in the cashews. Serve drizzled with natural yogurt if you like.

Steps:

• Fry the onions, garlic, chilli, and red pepper with a little olive oil.
• Add the chorizo after a minute.
• Stir in the turmeric, salt, pepper, and long grain rice.
• Pour in the water and simmer for 20 minutes.
• Stir in the peas and prawns until prawns are pink and no longer translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
• Enjoy!
