- Cook the rice and lentils according to pack instructions. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a frying pan and cook the mustard seeds until they start to ‘pop’. Add the onion, red chilli and garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes before stirring in the spices. Cook for one minute. Stir in the cauliflower florets to coat with all the spices and flavourings. Pour in the stock, cover and cook for 5-6 minutes, until the cauliflower is tender. Drain the rice and lentils and stir into the cauliflower. Stir in the flaked almonds and coriander. Season to taste and serve.
