Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 shallot, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 3 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
  • 2 (15 oz) cans lite or reduced-fat coconut milk
  • 1 cup cauliflower, cut into small florets
  • ½ red pepper, sliced thinly
  • 4 oz sweet potato ribbons (I found them at Trader Joe’s)
  • 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup snow peas
  • cups basmati rice

Instructions
 

  • Place the rice and 3 cups of water in a medium saucepan over high heat. Stir in 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the coconut oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the garlic, ginger, curry powder, turmeric, cumin, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, and salt. Stir for 30 seconds to release the flavors of the spices.
  • Shake each can of coconut milk before opening. Pour the coconut milk into the pan and stir to combine with the spices. Bring the coconut milk to a boil.
  • Add the cauliflower florets and sliced red pepper. Stir and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the sweet potato ribbons and chickpeas. Stir and cook for 3 more minutes.
  • Finally, add the snow peas, stir, and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  • Remove the rice from the heat. Uncover and fluff with a fork.
  • Place 1 cup of cooked rice in each bowl or dish. Spoon the vegetable curry over the top. Serve immediately.

Notes

Tip #1: You can find sweet potato ribbons at most grocery stores in the produce section. I found these at Trader Joe’s. Chicago friends, you can find these at Mariano’s, too.
Tip #2: This makes great leftovers, too!
