4 inches piece cucumbers, diced
1 ounce cilantro
6 tablespoons plain yogurt
12 ounces basmati rice
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 red chili pepper, deseeded and finely chopped
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons ginger
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon turmeric
2 teaspoons ground cumin
3 carrots, cut into small chunks
8 ounces cooked turkey
12 pint chicken stock
3 tablespoons cranberry sauce
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 lemon, juice
6 ounces French beans, trimmed

1
Mix together the cucumber, cilantro and plain yogurt and season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
2
Place the rice in a sieve and rinse under cold running water until the water runs clear.
3
Place the rice into a medium saucepan and pour over 1 pint cold water and add the salt.
4
Bring to the boil, then simmer for 10 minutes until just tender and all the water has been absorbed.
5
(Once cooked, remove from the heat and cover with a lid - this will let it steam gently while you finish cooking the vegetable mixture).
6
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan and fry the onion, chili, garlic, ginger, spices and carrots for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently.
7
Add the turkey, pour over the stock and simmer for 5-6 minutes.
8
Stir in the cranberry sauce, garam masala, lemon juice and scatter over the French beans, cover and simmer for a further 5 minutes until nearly all the stock has been absorbed and the green beans are just tender.
9
Fluff up the rice with a fork and stir into the vegetable mixture.
