Family Friendly Vegetable Curry

Dice the onion by removing the outer skins and chopping into small pieces. Place in a small bowl for later.

If using fresh garlic, remove the outer skin and chop cloves into very small pieces. Add to bowl with the onion.

While the rice is cooking, heat the oil in a large saucepan. Wait until the oil sizzles a little then add onion and garlic and cook for 3 minutes or until the onion is soft and starting to change colour.
