Ingredients
- 230 g basmati rice
- 460 ml water
- 250 g green beans
- 1/2 head Broccoli
- 1/2 can coconut milk ( 200ml )
- 1 middle onion
- 3 cloves garlic or more/ less as you like
- 2 Tbsp curry yellow paste
- 1 Tbsp coconut oil or any other oil you use
- optional mango, cashew
spices: koriander, cumin, chili, salt, pepper
Instructions
- Wash and cut the endings of green beans. Wash and cut broccoli in smaller portions. Cook on steam if you have such chance or al dente in the water.
- 230g or rice for me it is more or less 1 glass of rice. Rinse the rise carefully and boil with water in proportions 1:2 (1 portion of rice, 2 portions of water).
- Cut onion and fry in the pan for around 3min, then add smashed garlic for another 2 min. Add curry paste and optional spices, fry for a moment before adding coconut milk. Check the curry sauce if it needs anything else like salt or pepper or more chili. Add vegetables (and optional mango) to the curry sauce and cook together for a moment until veggies will be all covered in the sauce and READY
Notes
- Remember to wash rice before cooking. Why? To get rid of natural starch which is causing sticking the rice together. Secondly, there might be some dirt in it, like dust or dirt coming from the machines during the packaging.
- Choose rice without plastic bags. It is healthier option for you and for the Planet. Rice needs to have space to boil, it will not stick so much as it might in the plastic bag and most importantly, you reduce the possibility of eating unnecessary plastic particles. And it is cheaper! You can buy more rice for the same price.
- Fry onion first and then add garlic, ALWAYS. Garlic burns faster than onion therefore it is better to fry onion earlier for around 2 min and then add garlic.
