Title: Quick Curried Rice with Eggs and Peas
Post by: achookwoman on July 25, 2013, 12:50:34 pm
This  is adapted from a recipe by Karen Martini .  It can be served as a complete meal or as a side.  As a side it would serve 6 to 8 .  It is similar to a risotto but while the rice and spice are cooked in the TMX bowl,  it is finished off in a dish in the Varoma.
It is a very handy dish to serve to visitors as the finished dish can be taken to the table in the dish it is cooked in.

Need
250g Basmati rice
1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
2 teaspoons curry powder
3 eggs
60g melted butter
salt flakes and black pepper
3/4 cup of froxen peas
Juice of 1/2 lemon
4 to 6 spring onions , finely sliced
Crispy fried shallots
1 handful of coriander leaves.

Weigh rice into TMX bowl
Add curry powder and cumin seeds
Set dial at 5 minutes, heat 90, speed 1 , reverse., 9entle (  this will roast the rice and spices)
Add 650 mls of boiling water to jug.
Cook for 7mins, 100, degrees,  speed gentle. reverse.
Stand in bowl until most of the water is absorbed and the rice is cooked.  ( about 20 mins)
During this time,  set up the Varoma with 2 bamboo skewers under a heat proof dish.
Beat the eggs in a bowl,  melt butter,  measure out the Peas.
When the rice is cooked, tip into dish and pour the egg and butter over the rice.  (don't stir)

I've had my eye on this recipe for awhile, so I made it for our dinner tonight.

I had some cooked prawns in the freezer, so I defrosted those and added them with the peas. My dish was round and tall, not long like Cookies, so I couldn't fit in all the rice. I had to steam it at the end for 20 minutes instead of 10, but I'm sure this was due to the shape of the dish and the prawns. Next time I'd add more curry powder and a chilli or two, as we like our food quite hot and spicy.

I served it with yoghurt, chilli sauce and pappadums. We both enjoyed it, thanks for the recipe.

Katie,   Glad you tried this recipe and added the extras.  I must say this is not one of my favourite dishes as there is too much rice to the other ingredients.  Think you may have solved this problem.
