This one-pot veggie rice dish is a riot of warming spices and punchy flavours. Roast carrots and parsnips with honey until sticky, then pile on top of pomegranate-flecked, coconutty spiced rice and finish with a fiery coriander chutney. This makes a lovely alternative festive plant-based main or side along with roast chicken.

Method

step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C fan. Arrange the chopped carrots (500 g) and parsnips (500 g) on a large baking tray. Use a speed peeler to peel over the orange zest (1).
step 2
Combine the juice from the orange, turmeric (1/2 tsp), honey (2 tsp) and 1 tbsp of the korma paste (1 tbsp) in a bowl with 2 tbsp olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and stir together before pouring over the parsnips and carrots. Roast for 40-45 minutes, turning halfway, until tender and starting to char.
step 3
Heat a splash of oil in a large-lidded saucepan add the onions (2) and a sprinkle of salt. Cook for 8-10 minutes, until softened and brown.
step 4
Meanwhile, add the green chillies (2), lime juice (2), coriander (1 bunch), sugar (1 tsp) and coconut milk (45 ml) (mix in the tin if it’s separated) to a food processor with ½ tsp salt and blitz until smooth.
step 5
Add the remaining korma paste (2 tbsp) to the onions and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant. Stir in the rice (300 g), the coconut milk (355 ml), turmeric (1 1/2 tsp) and a good pinch of salt. Fill the coconut milk tin to the top with water and add.
step 6
Stir, bring to a boil, turn the heat down and then cover with a lid and cook for 8 minutes. Turn off the heat but leave the lid on for a further 5 minutes to steam and fully cook. Stir in the pistachios (1 tbsp) and cranberries (1 tbsp), fluffing up the rice with a fork.
step 7
Tumble the rice onto a serving platter and top with the sticky roasted carrots and parsnips, scatter over the pomegranate (2 tbsp) and serve with the coriander chutney.
