Vegetable Curry

Rice

Naan Bread

Method

Vegetable Curry

  1. 1

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Ginger

    Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Cook Vegetables

    Add the diced carrot, bell pepper, zucchini, and cauliflower florets. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. 4

    Add Liquids and Seasoning

    Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth. Stir in the curry powder, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer.

  5. 5

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat to low and let the curry simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

  6. 6

    Finish

    Stir in the chopped cilantro just before serving.

Rice

  1. 7

    Rinse Rice

    Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

  2. 8

    Cook Rice

    In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed.

  3. 9

    Fluff Rice

    Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.

Naan Bread

  1. 10

    Prepare Dough

    In a small bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let sit for 5 minutes until frothy. In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, yogurt, and olive oil. Add the yeast mixture and knead until smooth.

  2. 11

    Let Rise

    Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  3. 12

    Shape Naan

    Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it into an oval shape.

  4. 13

    Cook Naan

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each naan for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and puffed.
