Mid-Week Dinner: Mince Curry & Basmati Rice

I only managed to leave the office at 6:30pm last night so I really wanted something simple and quick to make for dinner. Mince curry is all of those things. Here's what I did:

Ingredients:
1x Pack of Mince
2t Curry Powder
1 large Onion, chopped
1 pkt Baby Tomatoes (the really small ones, halved)
3/4 cup Mixed Frozen Veg.
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
Salt & pepper
1/2t Sweet Basil
1T Olive Oil
1t (heaped) Chopped Garlic
1/2 cup water

Method:
1. In a large saucepan, cook onions & garlic until translucent.
2. Remove half the cooked onion and set aside. Add the Mince, Salt, Pepper & Sweet Basil to the saucepan. Brown the mince.
3. Remove the browned mince and set aside.
4. Add the onions back into the pan (from 2 above), add the tomatoes and half the tomato sauce.
5. Add the curry powder, moving the mixture around, roasting the spices (2-3 minutes)
6. Add back the mince, stirring it into the curry mixture.
7. Add the remaining tomato sauce and add the mix veg.
8. Add the water, stir and simmer for 10 minutes.

Serve on a bed of Basmati Rice. Smaaklik!!! This is a very mild curry - my daughter ate everything... and loved it. Serve with a glass of milk.
