Units Scale

Aloo Gobi

  • 1 small onion
  • 1- inch piece of ginger
  • 1 fresh green chili
  • a few springs of fresh cilantro
  • 12 ounces potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons black mustard seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 8 ounces cauliflower florets
  • 1 tablespoon coconut flakes
  • Sea salt (to taste)
  • Black pepper (to taste)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 lemon

Basmati Rice

  • 3/4 cup white basmati rice
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • Pinch sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Place a pot of salted water on to boil. We’ll use it for the rice later.
  2. Peel and finely chop onion and ginger, trim and finely slice chili, then pick the cilantro leaves and finely chop the stalks. Peel and chop the potatoes into 1-inch cubes.
  3. Heat coconut oil in an ovenproof pan over medium-high heat, add the onion, ginger, chili, cilantro stalks, mustard seeds, turmeric and cumin. Cook for 7 to 10 minutes, or until softened and golden.
  4. Stir in cauliflower, potatoes and coconut flakes, season with sea salt and black pepper, then add 1 cup of water.
  5. Bring to a boil, turn heat down, cover and simmer until just tender. Check regularly and add extra water, if needed.
  6. Stir, then roast in oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until cooked through.
  7. Place the rice in a pan, add 1 1/2 cups of boiling water and a pinch of sea salt. Cover and cook on medium for 7 minutes, remove from the heat and leave to steam with the lid on for 7 minutes, then fluff up with a fork.
  8. Once the curry is cooked, season to taste, then serve the basmati rice, scatter with the cilantro leaves, and the lemon cut into wedges for squeezing over.
