Instructions

Heat the spray oil in the frying pan until it begin to bubble, turn down the heat and sauté the onion for 3-4 minutes until soft.
Stir in the garlic paste for about a minute then stir in the curry powder, turmeric and stir for a few more seconds.
Stir in the rice then immediately add the stock, lemon juice and frozen peas. Allow the contents of the pan to come to the boil and then turn down to simmer for 10 to 15 minutes until the stock has been absorbed stirring occasionally to ensure the rice doesn't stick to the pan.
