Spice Mix Ingredients: desiccated coconut, turmeric, ground almonds, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves.

Allergens: see ingredients in bold

Ingredients:

• half packet pilau rice mix

• 1.5 lb/ 750g basmati rice

Recipe:

1. Place 500g/1 lb of the rice in a pan and add a similar quantity of water.

2. Stir in the spice mix, bring to the boil and simmer until nearly cooked. Drain and place in an ovenproof dish.

3. Meanwhile cook the remaining rice, add to the dish and mix in with the yellow rice. Put in a medium oven for about 15 minutes. This will dry the rice slightly and give it that restaurant texture.

Cook's Notes:

• If you want to use the whole packet and freeze the leftovers, go ahead. Just pop it in a plastic box, and then when you want to eat it defrost for an hour or more, put it in the microwave with a small amount of water and heat for 1-2 minutes.
