EASY CHICKPEA CURRY WITH BASMATI RICE
In summers, I'm always inventing dinner ideas that are healthy yet are quick and easy.... So, I can serve homemade dinner in no time and keep my family's health in-check.Served with side of lite-cooked (do check notes on this one) Basmati Rice, easy Chickpea Curry makes flavorful and protein-rich vegetarian main course. Plus just 25 minutes quick cooking promise, always encourages me to serve this on weekdays!Now before I get carried away with the detail of just how fabulous this recipe tastes, let me clarify a few things...Curries are staple "dinner" in my home. Ranging from Indian Daal (lentils) to Chicken Curries, we Indians, LOVE our "Curry Dinners"! Generally speaking, looking at restaurant food outside India, you might think.... "Curry Dinner! So Heavy!! Everyday!!!" That's not true, AT ALL! Indian, everyday curry dinners are very lite and easy on stomach. And, they are not called curries! Curry is, European originated name, given to spiced-Indian-food. In Indian Cuisine, we actually have a name for each of these curries but no one will address it as "curry"....... Like for this one, if you ask: "What's for dinner?" It is, Channa Chawal or Chickpea Rice. As you can plainly see in the images, this is not a heavy-on-masala kind of Chickpea Curry. And it has cooling touch of yogurt, mixed-in at the end of cooking, for a very balanced and mild curry flavor, and subtle tang of yogurt.Oh... I should probably mention as well, that Yogurt and Rice is one staple meal, in Indian cuisine, for a very lite and easy-on-stomach meal. Often, when we eat out or when it's very hot and humid... You know, kinda days when it does not feel great to eat heavy food..... On such days, yogurt-and-rice is most popular "lite meal", in many parts of India. Mixing yogurt into Chickpea Curry provides a light balance to this traditional curry. Also, I used fresh tomatoes and onions to keep the traditional Indian flavor, then added a mild curry powder to spare you from using/buying a long list of Indian Spices. If you fan of Indian cuisine, I'm sure you'll have some curry powder in your pantry. However, don't worry, if you don't want to use/have curry powder. I have simple fix for you. Just mix equal amount of ground turmeric, paprika, coriander powder, cumin powder and half amount of garam masala, then use 1 tsp out of this mixture. Keep rest in an air-tight container to use in next curry dish. :) It is that simple!What's all about Lite Cooked Rice?Before we get into details of lite-cooked Basmati rice, I must tell you that Basamati Rice are long grain and thin rice which cook in 10-12 minutes vs regular thick and short-grain rice need about 20 minutes to cook. So, if you not using Basmati, make sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.Now, about lite cooking method. Traditionally, a cup of rice use 2 cups of water to cook fully. At end of the cooking, water will be fully absorbed by rice. I do that when I'm making any kind of one-pot pilaf. However, for my everyday dinner-rice, I use 3 cups of water instead of 2 cups, and at end of cooking, I drain the excess water just like you would drain extra pasta water. Draining rice water reduces starch-content of cooked rice and makes'em lite and fit for everyday consumption. So, if you really like to keep your starch-intake in-check, always cook rice with extra water and drain the excess starch water. Trust me, rice don't really need fancy rice-cookers or much attention to cook. Just water and rice... vigorously boiling until rice are cooked and then draining excess make fluffy and much-lite rice for every day consumption!Diet Info: Chickpea Curry Dinner is Gluten Free and can be vegan with just one simple change. To keep this Chickpea Curry dairy-free... just replace yogurt with a mild and low-fat Coconut Milk. Vegan, Gluten Free, or just on tight schedule... Whatever you're weekday eating need, you can enjoy a little bit of Indian comfort without a side dish of guilt... that too in just 25 minutes!

Steps:
- Rinse basmati rice under running water. Add to a pot with 3 cups of water and salt. Bring water to boil on high heat, then continue boiling rice for 10-12 minutes or until rice are done to your liking. Once rice are cooked, drain excess water as you would from pasta. Cover and set aside.
- In a food processor, coarse chop/process onion, tomato, garlic, 2 tbsp cilantro, and ginger (if not using paste) Also, remove yogurt from fridge, add 2 tbsp water, mix well, and set aside.
- In a wide saute pan, heat canola oil. Add cumin seeds and let'em sputter for 20 seconds. Now, add onion and tomato mixture with ginger and garlic. Cook until water evaporates and mixture is soft with little oil showing on sides. (about 5-6 minutes on medium heat)
- Add all dried spices and saute for 1 minute.
- Now add drained, cooked chickpeas, followed by vegetable stock (or water if using). Stir to combine and bring to boil on high heat.
- Reduce heat to medium and cook until water has been absorbed by sauce and consistency has thickened (about 5-7 minutes on medium-high heat). (no water running on sides as it is absorbed by chickpeas making curry thick, as seen in picture.)
- Switch off the heat, add yogurt into chickpeas while continuously stirring the curry. Very important to keep stirring the gravy while you add yogurt or yogurt might curdle. Taste and adjust salt. Serve over rice with garnish of cilantro and enjoy!

BASMATI RICE WITH COCONUT MILK AND GINGER
A perfectly cooked pot of plain white rice is a beautiful thing indeed. But basmati rice that's been cooked in a mixture of chicken broth and coconut milk then seasoned with a little chopped fresh ginger and scallions? That's borderline transcendent. The ginger doesn't overpower the rice here - you'll taste the mellow coconut first and the kicky notes of ginger second - so it makes an ideal accompaniment to stir-fries and braises.

Steps:
- In a large, shallow saucepan or a high-sided skillet, brown the onion and peppers in coconut oil over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add half the salt. Reduce heat to medium. Add the garlic, ginger, curry powder, and tomato paste. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the coconut milk and simmer for 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning, as needed. Reduce heat to low. Season the fish fillets with remaining salt and add them to curry sauce. Simmer over low heat for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on the thickness of fillets. Cover with sauce and set aside. Prepare basmati rice or rice vermicelli according to package instructions. To serve, garnish dishes with lime wedges and fresh cilantro. CHEF'S SECRET No waste: Use tomato paste in a tube or, if using canned tomato paste, freeze the leftovers. The curry sauce can be prepared ahead of time and gently reheated. Cook fish right before serving (do not bring to a boil). NUTRITION TIP To add greens to the menu, blanch some sweet peas or small broccoli florets in salted water to add when serving.
SIMPLE FRAGRANT INDONESIAN COCONUT MILK RICE (NASI UDUK)
Steps:
- Rinse the rice well. To do this, place it into a sieve and then in a large bowl of water. Use your hands to rub the rice with your fingers until the water is milky white. Then discard that water and replace it with new water. Repeat this 3-4 times, or until the water is almost clear.
- Rinse the pandan leaves and tie them into knots. This will help them infuse their flavor into the rice more while cooking (and allows them to fit in the pot!).
- Lightly bash the lemongrass with the side of a large knife or a rolling pin/similar tool and tie them in a knot too.
- Add all the ingredients to a saucepan and give the mixture a small stir and place its lid on.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat then lower to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes. I recommend stirring it once after the first 5 minutes to reduce the risk of the coconut milk scorching at the bottom of the pan.
- Once you notice all the liquid has been absorbed, remove the pot from the heat and allow it to stand and "steam" for a further 10 minutes before removing the lid.You can also cook the nasi uduk in a rice cooker. Just be aware that you'll need a little less water (check the recipe card for amounts). In a rice cooker, use the "white rice setting". Once ready, leave to steam for a further 10 minutes.
- Remove the lid and all the aromatics (knotted ingredients, ginger, and galangal). You can then serve it - typically, this is done as a "mound" or in a cone shape. Then enjoy with the mains and sides of your choice!
- Store: you can store the leftover rice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for between 3-4 days.Freeze: transfer the cooked rice to freezer-safe containers and freeze for up to 4 months. Allow to thaw in the fridge before reheating.Reheat: as rice sits, it tends to dry out. So when reheating, make sure to splash with a bit of additional coconut milk or water, then reheat on the stovetop, in the microwave, or on the "warm" function in your rice cooker.
