Curry Rice Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice

    Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak it in water for 30 minutes, then drain.

  2. 2

    Cook the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional minute.

  3. 3

    Add Spices

    Stir in the curry powder, turmeric, and salt. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Combine Rice and Liquid

    Add the soaked and drained rice to the pot, followed by the water and coconut milk. Stir well to combine.

  5. 5

    Add Vegetables

    Fold in the peas, diced carrots, and bell pepper. Bring to a boil.

  6. 6

    Cook the Rice

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

  7. 7

    Finish and Serve

    Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and mix in the chopped cilantro before serving.
