SPICED RICE WITH CAULIFLOWER AND PEAS

In a large saucepan, fry the onions in the butter very slowly for about 10 minutes; add half the cashews and some seasoning and fry gently for another 5 minutes until the onions are soft and golden
Break the cauliflower into florets; turn up the heat under the onions and add the cauliflower; when it is coated in the onions, add the rice, 2 teaspoons salt and the spices and fry until sizzling; cover with 750ml boiling water, bring to the boil and stir to break any clumps of rice
Cover the rice with a piece of baking paper and the lid, then reduce the heat to a lower setting and cook for 10 minutes
Remove the lid and paper and stir in the peas; replace the lid and leave the rice undisturbed for 5 minutes off the heat
Crush the garlic with a little salt and mix it into the yogurt; when the rice has rested, remove the lid and fluff it up with a fork; add the herbs and the reserved cashews and serve with the yogurt and pomegranate seeds
