Prawn biryani with cauliflower rice

A super tasty , super healthy Supper !

This recipe makes two good sized portions with enough left over for another portion to freeze.

I coarsely grated a cauliflower myself for a fraction of the cost of ‘pre grated’
And I roasted the squash and sweet potato in the oven while the curry was cooking and added them at the end for extra flavour x

Ingredients

1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 large onion, finely sliced
1 bay leaf
3 cardamom pods
1 small cinnamon stick
1 tsp turmeric
300g sweet potato and butternut squash
2 red chillies, 1 finely diced and one sliced at an angle
4 tbsp balti curry paste
350ml fresh chicken stock
160g runner beans, sliced
2 x 180g pack raw king prawns
2 x 300g pack cauliflower rice
1 tsp fresh chopped coriander
1 tbsp toasted, flaked almonds

Method

1. Heat the oil in a saucepan and cook the onions with the bay leaf and other whole spices for 10 minutes. Sprinkle in the turmeric, then add the sweet potato and butternut squash, diced chilli, curry paste and stock and cook for 15-20 minutes until the sweet potato and butternut squash have begun to soften.

2. After 10 minutes, add the runner beans. Add the prawns and cook for 3 minutes, then add the cauliflower rice. Cook for 5 minutes, until the cauliflower rice is just cooked.

3. Turn off the heat and leave for 5 minutes. Stir well, mixing through half the coriander. To serve, scatter over the remaining coriander, sliced red chillies and flaked almonds.
