Steps:
- Combine the rice, vegetable stock and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce the heat to low and simmer until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, 40 to 45 minutes. Stir in the apricots and shallot during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
- Spread the rice in a single layer on a parchment paper-lined rimmed baking sheet to cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
- Make the vinaigrette: Whisk together the vinegar, curry powder, honey, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Gradually whisk in the olive oil until combined.
- Transfer the cooled rice to a serving bowl. Add the desired amount of the vinaigrette, then the arugula, pine nuts and mint, and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large pan and cook the onion for 8-10 mins until soft and just turning golden. Boil the kettle. Stir the curry paste, ground turmeric, rice and raisins into the onions. Crumble over the stock cube and pour over enough boiled water from the kettle to cover the rice by ½cm (about 1 litre). Season with some salt. Bring to a gentle simmer, then cover the pan, reduce the heat to its lowest setting and cook for 2 mins more. Without taking off the lid, remove from the heat and leave to steam for 15 mins. This will give you perfect, fluffy rice.
- Meanwhile, bring another pan of water to the boil and cook the eggs for 7 mins. Plunge into a bowl of cold water to stop them cooking and once cool, drain and halve.
- Tip the rice into a container and chill for at least 1 hr, or up to two days. When you're ready to serve, scatter over the coriander and almonds, and top with the grated carrot, cucumber slices and eggs.
