Cook the rice according to the pack instructions, adding the turmeric to the pan as well
Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat, then cook the onion for 4-5 mins, until softened but not coloured
Add the peppers and carrot, then fry for another 5 mins
Season, stir in the garlic, paprika and chilli powder, then cook for 1 minute more
Pour in the chopped tomatoes – swirl the can out with a splash of water and add that too
Stir in the cooked rice and simmer with a lid on for 10-12 mins, stirring occasionally
Remove the lid, add the green beans and peas, then cook for another 5-6 mins, until the veg is cooked and the liquid has evaporated
Season, then serve with lemon wedges on the side, if you like
