Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 15

300g basmati rice
2 tbsp oil
1 onion or 2 shallots, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tsp turmeric , plus a pinch
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tbsp garam masala
½-1 tsp hot chilli powder
2 x 400g cans coconut milk
2 x 400g cans chickpeas , drained and rinsed
4 cloves
½ cinnamon stick
200g frozen spinach
1-2 tbsp tamarind or a squeeze of lime
toasted dessicated coconut , to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Wash the rice a couple of times in cold running water, then leave to soak while you make the curry. Heat 1½ tbsp oil in a deep frying pan, and fry the onion for 10 mins until soft, but not turning golden.
  • Add the garlic and fry for 1 min, then tip in the turmeric, cumin, garam masala and chilli powder, and toast for 30 seconds, stirring. Add the coconut milk and chickpeas. Simmer for 15 mins until the sauce has reduced slightly.
  • Meanwhile, heat the remaining ½ tbsp oil in a small pan with the cloves, cinnamon and a pinch of turmeric. Stir until the mixture smells fragrant. Drain the rice and add to the spices, stirring well to coat in the oil. Pour in 600ml boiling water, bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to low. Add a tight-fitting lid and simmer gently for 10 mins, without removing the lid.
  • About 5 mins before the end of the curry's cooking time, stir in the spinach and break it up with a wooden spoon as it defrosts. Season well. Add the tamarind or lime juice to balance the sweetness of the curry. Serve in bowls with the fragrant, steaming rice, removing the large spices as you serve. Top with a pinch of the desiccated coconut, if using.

Time 25m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 tablespoons coconut butter
½ red onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt
½ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon fennel seeds
¼ teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
¼ teaspoon garam masala
1 tablespoon cornstarch
¼ cup water
1 (14 ounce) can cream of coconut
4 curry leaves, or more to taste
½ teaspoon chili powder
½ cup cooked chickpeas
2 ounces broccoli florets, chopped
4 small heads baby bok choy

Steps:

  • Melt coconut butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and garlic using a wooden spoon until translucent and lightly brown in color, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt, cumin, pepper, fennel seeds, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala; mix until well incorporated. Stir in corn starch until a creamy paste forms.
  • Slowly mix water into the saucepan to dissolve cornstarch and thicken the mixture. Keep stirring until there are no lumps. Stir in chickpeas and broccoli and briefly cook until just lightly crisp and tender (do not overcook). Mix in coconut cream and curry leaves and cover pan halfway with a lid. Simmer until liquid is reduced and has thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Remove lid and lower heat to medium-low. Cook and stir until liquid is reduced and curry is thick and creamy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add bok choy and cook until wilted and curry has further reduced, 3 to 5 minutes.

  • Heat the coconut oil in a large pot or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cumin and coriander seeds and toast until they start to brown, about 45 seconds. Add the garlic to the pot and let it brown, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the can of crushed tomatoes, ginger, turmeric, and sea salt to the pot and cook, stirring the pot a few times, for 5 minutes. Add the lentils and, if using, the cayenne powder, and the water to the pot and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 35-40 minutes, or until the lentils are soft. Stir the pot a few times to prevent the lentils from sticking to the bottom. If the curry starts to look dry, add an extra 1/2 – 1 cup of water.
  • Once the lentils are soft and the curry is thick, add the coconut milk and cherry tomatoes and bring the pot back to a simmer. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the cilantro.
