Method

  1. Fry the onions, bay and whole spices in the butter for 10 mins. Sprinkle in the turmeric, then add the curry paste and cook until aromatic. Add the rice and the raisins, stir and cook for a good few mins, then add the stock and bring to the boil. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and when really boiling lower the heat and cook for 10 mins. Turn the heat off but don't lift the lid and leave to sit for 20 mins.
  2. Stir in half the almonds and coriander, with the rest of the coriander and the almonds thrown over the top.

    Really delicious way of doing rice. I left out the raisins due to popular demand. Used 50/50 strong pheasant stock and water. Don't usually bother toasting flaked almonds as I usually burn them, but made the effort and they really enhanced the overall flavour.
