Recipe adapted from Long Day Care Recipe Competition - entry by Newport Gardens Early Years Centre.

Method
  1. Cook rice as per packet or rice cooker instructions (with optional saffron).
  2. In a large saucepan over medium heat, fry oil and spices with the onion, garlic and ginger for approximately 2 minutes, or until onion has softened.
  3. Add beef mince and Worcestershire sauce, stir to combine and cook until meat has browned.
  4. Add the potatoes, frozen vegetables, tomato paste and crushed tomatoes. Stir constantly so potatoes do not stick on the bottom. You may need to add a little water to prevent meat and potatoes sticking.
  5. Reduce the heat to a medium boil. Cook until potatoes are tender and liquid has reduced. You can thicken with corn flour if needed.
  6. Serve with rice and whatever green vegetables are in season.
