Regenerative Organic Brown Basmati Rice

  • 1

    Cook rice according to directions on package. Keep warm.

  • 2

    While rice is cooking, preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper or silicon baking mat. Place sweet potato cubes on prepared baking tray, toss with 2 tbsp oil or spray with cooking oil, and sprinkle with salt. Bake until fork tender (~35-40 mins).

  • 3

    While sweet potatoes bake, place spice paste ingredients in a food processor and blitz until pureed. Set aside.

  • 4

    Heat avocado oil in a pot over medium heat and add the spice paste. Sauté until fragrant, stirring regularly. Tip: for better flavor, sauté spice paste until there's separation between oil and paste.

  • 5

    Add the baked sweet potatoes to the spice paste, then add water and cilantro, and stir to combine. Partially cover and simmer for ~15 mins. If curry is too thick after simmering, add more water.

  • 6

    Taste curry, and add salt to taste as preferred, then turn off heat.

  • 7

    Divide cooked rice and curry into serving bowls and top with chopped cilantro. Serve immediately as curry will thicken over time.

  • 8

    Store extras in air-tight container and refrigerate. Consume within 3 days. Alternatively, store portions in freezer.
