Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, peeled, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, peeled, sliced
  • 1 tbsp cumin seeds
  • 1 tbsp fennel seeds
  • 1 tsp black onion seeds
  • 400 g basmati rice
  • 400 g pumpkin, diced
  • 800 ml (1 1/2 pint) hot gluten-free vegetable stock
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 100 ml coconut yoghurt
  • 100 g radishes, sliced
  • 100 g roasted almonds, crushed
  • a small bunch of mint, roughly chopped
  • a small bunch of coriander, roughly chopped
  • 1 chilli, chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Add the onion, garlic, cumin, fennel and black onion seeds. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally until the onions are translucent. Add the rice and cook for a further 2 minutes, stirring, until the rice has also turned translucent.

  2. Add the pumpkin and stock, bring to the boil, then turn down the heat to a gentle simmer. Season and cook without stirring, covered, for 10 minutes, or until the stock has been absorbed. Turn off the heat and leave to stand for 5 minutes to finish cooking.

  3. Remove the lid and give a gentle stir. Top with a spoonful or two of coconut yoghurt and scatter the sliced radishes and remaining ingredients over the top. Serve at once.
