How To Make Broad Bean & Broccoli Curry

Using a wok or large frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat and fry the mustard seeds for 30 seconds until they pop and sizzle. Now add the onion, ginger and chilli, cooking until the onion becomes translucent then tip in the almonds sautéing until the edges of the nuts start to brown. Add the broad beans and courgettes cooking for 5 minutes and then add the pre-steamed broccoli florets, heating through for another couple of minutes keeping the texture al dente. Remove the BBC Sabzi from the heat and run the mint through the mix and then douse with the juice from half a lemon.

Serve right away and eat with flatbread and a zesty lime pickle.
