Ingredients

• 1 cup basmati rice
• 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
• 2 cups mixed vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, carrots, peas)
• 2 tablespoons curry powder
• 1 teaspoon turmeric
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh cilantro, for garnish

How to Make Mixed Vegetable Curry with Rice

1. Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain and set aside.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, 1 cup of coconut milk, and 1 cup of vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.
3. While the rice cooks, heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
4. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
5. Stir in the mixed vegetables and cook for 5 minutes, allowing them to soften slightly.
6. Sprinkle in the curry powder, turmeric, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the vegetables in the spices.
7. Pour in the remaining 1 cup of coconut milk, stirring to combine. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and the vegetables are tender.
8. Fluff the coconut rice with a fork and serve alongside the vegetable curry. Garnish with fresh cilantro.

Tips for the Best Results

• For extra flavor, toast the curry powder in the skillet for a minute before adding the vegetables.
• Use seasonal vegetables for the freshest taste and best texture.
• Adjust the spice level by adding chili powder or fresh chilies if you like it hot.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the mixed vegetables for your favorites, such as zucchini, spinach, or sweet potatoes.
• Add protein by including chickpeas or tofu for a heartier meal.
• Experiment with different curry pastes for a unique flavor profile.

What to Serve With It

• Warm naan or pita bread for dipping.
• A side salad with cucumber and tomatoes for a refreshing contrast.
• Pickled vegetables for an added tangy crunch.
