Ingredients

  • 4 raw organic beetroot
  • 2 tbsp organic olive oil
  • 2 tsp cumin seeds
  • 2 tsp mustard seeds
  • 1 organic red onion chopped
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp chilli flakes
  • 3 cloves garlic grated
  • 1 knob ginger grated
  • 1 can organic reduced fat coconut milk
  • Juice 1/2 lemon
  • 1/2 tsp Himalayan salt
  • Black pepper
  • 2 big handfuls organic spinach
  • 1 cup organic indica brown rice
  • 1 tbsp. Sesame oil
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 handful of peanuts and cashews

Instructions

  • Cut the stalks off the beetroot and add to a pan of boiling water. Simmer for a hr and then let the beetroots cool. Remove the skins and slice into chunks.
  • Heat the oil in a pan on a medium heat, then add in the cumin seeds and mustard seeds. Fry for a few minutes until they sizzle and pop.
  • Add in the onion, turmeric, chilli flakes, garlic and ginger and turn down the heat. Fry for 10 minutes until the onion is soft.
  • Add in the coconut milk, beetroot, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Turn up the heat to medium and simmer for 10 minutes, then add in the spinach. Stir to wilt.
  • Toast the peanuts and cashews in a dry pan for 10 minutes until toasted.
  • Cook at the rice as per instructions on the back of pack–approx 20 minutes. Add the sesame oil and cumin seeds to a small frying pan, then fry the cumin on a medium heat for a minute until fragrant. Add in the rice and stir to combine. Season well.
  • Add the peanuts and cashews to a hot dry saucepan and dry roast them for a few minutes until toasted. Keep your eye on them as they burn easily. Take off the heat.
  • Serve with curry with the rice, then top with coriander and toasted nuts.
