Method

step 1
Heat the vegetable oil (2 tbsp) and butter (30 g) in a large non-stick sauté pan. When the butter begins to foam, add the red onion (1) and cook for 7-8 minutes.
step 2
Meanwhile, place the M&S Collection aged basmati rice (400 g) in a large mixing bowl, fill the bowl with water and stir the rice around with your hands. Pour out the water and repeat this process until the water runs clear. Drain the rice in a sieve and set aside.
step 3
Add the cardamom (4) and cinnamon (1) to the onions and stir well. Cook until the onions are beginning to brown. Add the garlic (2 tsp) and ginger (2 tsp) to the pan and cook, stirring well, for 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, stir in the garam masala (2 tbsp), turmeric (1 tsp) and chilli (1/2 tsp), and cook for 1-2 minutes.
step 4
Add the chopped tomatoes (1/2 tin) to the pan and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the rinsed, drained rice, roast turkey chunks (400 g) and stock (750 ml). Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and cook for 12 minutes.
step 5
Add the peas (120 g) to the pan, pop the lid back on and cook for a further 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and leave to sit for 5 minutes.
step 6
Fluff up the rice with a fork and serve the pilaf in bowls. Sprinkle over the M&S crispy onions (50 g), if using, and garnish with coriander (2 handfuls). Serve the poppadoms (to taste) and mango chutney (to taste) alongside.
