step 1
Rinse the rice (200 g) under cold water, then add to a saucepan filled with boiling water. Stir and partially cover with a lid. Simmer for 10 minutes, then drain and return to the pan. Cover again with a lid and leave it to steam for 10 minutes before serving.
step 2
Meanwhile, melt half the butter (25 g) in a large saucepan. Add the onion (1) and cook for 3 minutes, until softened. Tip in the tikka masala seasoning (3 tbsp), garam masala (1 tbsp), garlic (2 tbsp) and ginger (2 tbsp) and cook for another 3 minutes until fragrant.
step 3
Add the drained chickpeas (2 tins), cherry tomatoes (2 tins) and 100ml of water. Simmer together for 10 minutes until thickened.
step 4
Lower the heat and stir in the single cream (100 ml) until glossy. Stir in the remaining butter (25 g) and lemon juice (1/2), then season to taste with salt and pepper.
step 5
Serve the rice and chickpeas in bowls, topped with the extra cream. Scatter over the coriander (15 g) and pomegranate seeds (2 tbsp) and serve with the mango chutney poppadoms (200 g) and Indian dip selection (to taste).
