Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large frying pan. Add the lamb mince. Cook over a high heat for 2 mins. Stir with a wooden spoon to break up the meat. The meat should start to brown. Drain off any excess liquid.

Add the tomatoes to the pan. Add 200ml boiling water. Stir now and then. Cover. Simmer for 15 mins till the sauce has thickened and the mince is cooked.

While the lamb keema cooks, tip the rice into a small pan. Pour in 400ml boiling water. Cover. Bring to the boil. Turn the heat right down. Simmer for 6-8 mins till all the water is absorbed. Take off the heat. Set aside, lid on, for 4 mins.

Take the lid off the lamb keema. Add the broccoli. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 mins to just cook the broccoli. Taste the keema and season if you think it needs it. Serve with the rice.
