Step by step
Instructions
Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan forced.
Heat a large casserole dish over medium heat; spray with oil; add onion and garlic, cook until soft. Add ginger, curry paste, cumin, cinnamon, turmeric and coriander; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add ¼ cup (60mL) water, if necessary, to prevent sticking.
Add lamb and cook for 5 minutes or until browned. Stir in rice and cook for 1 minute; add stock, Asian seasoning sauce, peas, cauliflower and apricots; bring to a boil. Remove from heat and cover with lid.
Place in the oven and bake 25-30 minutes or until stock is absorbed and rice is cooked. Remove from oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine yogurt and mint in a small bowl; mix well. Combine tomatoes and coriander in a separate bowl, mix well.
