Method

Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan. Add the onion, apple and garlic and stir-fry for 2-3 mins. Stir in the curry paste and cook for a few seconds.
Add the carrots, tomatoes, cauliflower or broccoli, chickpeas, tofu and stock. Simmer, partially covered, for 25-30 mins, adding a little extra stock or water if the curry looks like it is getting too dry.
At the same time, cook the brown rice in gently boiling water for 25-30 mins, or until tender. (If you are using white rice, it will only take 12 mins to cook).
Add the peas to the curry and heat for a few moments. Season with some pepper, if needed. Drain the rice thoroughly and serve with the curry.
