Ingredients

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.

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

Nonstick cooking spray
2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
One 13.5-ounce can unsweetened coconut milk
4 cloves garlic, finely grated
1 tablespoon finely grated peeled fresh ginger (from a 1- to 2-inch piece)
1 serrano chile pepper, stemmed and finely chopped (remove seeds for less heat)
2 1/2 teaspoons curry powder, preferably Madras
Kosher salt
Two 15.5-ounce cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 cups lightly packed baby spinach, roughly chopped
1 1/2 cups basmati rice
1/2 medium head cauliflower, cut into small florets (about 3 heaping cups)
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
Cilantro leaves, plain whole-milk yogurt and lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
Whisk the vegetable broth, coconut milk, garlic, ginger, serrano, curry powder and 2 teaspoons salt together in a medium bowl until combined. Add the chickpeas and spinach and stir to coat.
Spread the rice evenly in the bottom of the prepared dish. Pour in the coconut-milk mixture, distributing the chickpeas and spinach evenly over the rice. Scatter the cauliflower and onion over the top, making sure to go all the way to the edge of the pan (it's okay if the cauliflower is not completely submerged in liquid).
Cover tightly with foil and bake until the vegetables have softened but are still vibrant, about 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until the cauliflower is charred in spots and the rice is cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes more. Let sit for 5 minutes to allow the rice to absorb more of the moisture. Serve topped with cilantro, a drizzle of yogurt and lime wedges for squeezing.
