Chilli Paneer W. Veg Brown Rice & Mint Yoghurt & A chicken Breast

Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7

Rinse your brown rice, add it to a pot with plenty of cold water and bring to the boil over a high heat

Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 20-25 min or until it's tender with a slight bite

Once cooked, drain, return it to the pot and keep covered until serving

Added chicken? Cook at 220°C / 200°C (fan) / gas 7 for 18-20 min

Deseed your pepper[s] (scrape the seeds and pith out with a teaspoon) and chop into large chunks

Top, tail and chop your courgette[s] in half lengthways, then chop roughly

Peel and chop your red onion[s] into wedges

Add the chopped pepper and courgette to a baking paper-lined baking tray (or two!) with the onion wedges, a drizzle of vegetable oil and a pinch of salt

Give everything a good mix up and put the tray[s] in the oven for 20-25 min or until the vegetables are softened and golden – this is your roasted veg

While the vegetable is cooking, strip your mint from their stems and chop them finely, discard the stems

Tip: Hold the top of the herb sprigs firmly and slide your fingers down their lengths to easily remove the leaves

Combine the chopped mint and natural yoghurt in a small bowl with a pinch of salt and give everything a good mix up – this is your mint yoghurt

Chop your paneer into bite-sized pieces

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a very generous drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat

Once hot, add the chopped paneer and cook for 5-6 min or until golden, turning occasionally for even colouring

Once the paneer is golden, add your ground smoked paprika and cumin seeds to the pan with your chilli flakes (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and cook for a further 1 min or until fragrant

Once fragrant, remove the pan from the heat, then add your honey and give everything a good mix up – this is your sticky chilli paneer

Once the rice is cooked, add your vegetable stock mix to the cooked rice and give everything a good mix up – this is your seasoned rice

Once the roasted veg are softened and golden, remove the tray[s] from the oven and transfer them to the seasoned rice and gently stir it all together – this is your roasted veg rice
