Blend the mixture into a smooth paste and return to the pot.

Add chicken broth, bay leaves, thyme, curry powder, salt, and black pepper; bring to a simmer.

Stir in the beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Add long-grain rice, ensuring it's evenly coated in the sauce.

Cover and cook on low heat for 20-25 minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.

In the last 5 minutes, add green peas and diced carrots, stirring gently to combine.

Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
