Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup basmati rice
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup cauliflower florets
  • 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chickpeas, cooked
  • Optional: 1/2 cup green peas
  • Optional: 1/4 cup cashews, toasted
  • Optional: Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Set aside to drain.
  2. Prepare the vegetables by chopping the onion, slicing the bell pepper, and cutting the broccoli and cauliflower into bite-sized florets.
  3. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger. Gather all the spices and have them ready.
  4. In a medium saucepan, cook the basmati rice according to the package instructions. Fluff and keep warm.
  5. In a large pot, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  6. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger; cook for another minute until fragrant.
  7. Stir in curry powder and turmeric, blooming in the oil for about 30 seconds.
  8. Add bell pepper, broccoli, and cauliflower to the pot; stir to coat in spices.
  9. Pour in coconut milk and vegetable broth. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  10. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 15–20 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
  11. If using, stir in chickpeas and peas; cook for 5 more minutes.
  12. Serve over rice, topped with cilantro and toasted cashews. Add lime wedges on the side.

Notes

Avoid overcooking the vegetables for best texture. Toast the spices briefly for maximum flavor. Use full-fat coconut milk for a creamier finish.
