Method

1. Start by preparing the rice. Fry the onion in a little oil until softened, then add the carrot and mushrooms and stir.
2. Add the grated tomato and stir.
3. Add turmeric (yellow spice), curry, dried coriander, cloves, biryani spice and salt, and stir.
4. Add the rice and water according to the type of rice — usually every cup of basmati rice needs two cups of water.
5. When the water boils and is about level with the rice, cover the pot and leave it on low heat for about 20 minutes.
6. Meanwhile prepare the meatballs: mix the finely minced meat with cinnamon, cumin, kofta spice, masala and finely chopped onion; knead or mix well.
7. Shape the meat into small balls.
8. In a pan, fry an onion cut into wedges in oil until softened, then add the meatballs and cook over low heat until done.
9. When the meat is cooked, add the cream, mustard, black pepper and salt to taste and let it simmer until it thickens.
10. Serve the vegetable curry rice with the meatballs and cream.
