For Garam Masala have a big bag I made from Madhur Jaffrey ( https://www.masterclass.com/articles/garam-masala-recipe-by-madhur-jaffrey). Why not try serving with a different Uncle Ben’s Express rice depending on your taste – there’s 22 varieties!

For the garlic & ginger, I used 1 tsp of garlic ginger paste for 1 clove of the stated garlic and ginger (usually garlic / ginger paste is 50/50 ratio for Indian dishes).Halve and finely slice the onion and then finely chop the garlic. Take a medium saucepan and fry the onion and garlic in a little oil until clear in colour (about 2 minutes)

Now,you’ll create the sauce. Start by combining all of the spices into a small jar. Next, add finely minced Thai peppers. You’ll use 1-2 peppers, depending on how spicy you prefer your food. Adding 1 Thai pepper won’t make your dish overly spicy, but adds a lot of flavor. If you can’t find Thai peppers locally, you can substitute in a jalapeno pepper.Mars Food was “seeing a permanent shift in eating habits in the UK”, said Ben’s Original marketing manager Gareth Williams. Shoppers were “increasingly looking for ‘health’ offerings in their diet”, he added. Serve up the dish by starting with a good helping of Uncle Ben’s rice. It should be perfectly cooked and ready and warm waiting until you are ready to serve the meal.
