- Ground Cumin: 1 tsp ground cumin
- Rapeseed Oil: 1 tsp rapeseed oil
- Ginger: 25g ginger, finely chopped
- Red Chillies: 2 red chillies, deseeded and sliced
- Tomatoes: 4 large tomatoes, cut into wedges
- Ground Coriander: 1 tsp ground coriander
- Cauliflower Florets: 360g cauliflower florets (about 1/4 cauliflower)
- Onions: 2 large onions (330g), 1 finely chopped, 1 sliced
- Ground Turmeric: 1 tsp ground turmeric
- Brown Basmati Rice: 225g brown basmati rice
- Coconut Yogurt: 100g coconut yogurt
- Green Lentils: 390g can green lentils, drained
- Vegetable Bouillon Powder: 1 tbsp vegetable bouillon powder (check it's vegan if you need it to be), made up with 500ml boiling water
- Courgettes: 2 large courgettes (320g), halved lengthways and thickly sliced
- Tamarind: 1 1/2 tsp tamarind
- Fine Beans: 320g fine beans, trimmed and halved if large
Directions
- Boil the rice in a pan of water for 25 mins until tender, then drain.
- Meanwhile, make the curry. Heat the oil in a large pan and fry the onions, chillies and ginger for 8-10 mins until softened. Add the spices and garlic, stir briefly, then pour in the bouillon and stir in the cauliflower. Cover and simmer for 5 mins.
- Stir in the tamarind with the beans, tomatoes and courgettes, then cover the pan and cook for 10-15 mins more until the veg are tender, but still retain a little bite. Remove the lid for the last 5 mins to reduce the sauce a little. Remove from the heat and stir in the yogurt and half the fresh coriander.
- Meanwhile, for the kitchari, heat the oil in a non-stick pan and add the ground coriander. Warm briefly, then tip in the rice and drained lentils. Warm through for 1 min, then stir through the remaining fresh coriander.
- If you're following ourHealthy Diet Plan, serve half the curry and rice now, then chill the rest to eat another night (cool the rice quickly on a wide tray, then chill immediately). Reheat the rice and curry in the microwave or on the hob. You may need to add a drop of water to the rice to stop it sticking.
