METHOD

How to make chickpea korma with brown rice

1. Rinse the rice and put in a pan with twice the amount of water. Bring to the boil, turn down the heat and simmer with the lid on until all the water is absorbed (about 40 minutes).

2. Heat the coconut oil in a large saucepan and add the onion and garlic. Cook them until they soften. Add the spices, except the garam masala, and cook for a few more minutes.

3. Add the carrots and cauliflower and cook for a few minutes, coating them in the spices.

4. Dissolve the creamed coconut in 2 cups of boiling water and add it to the pan with the garam masala and drained and rinsed chickpeas. Cook for 20 minutes until the vegetables are cooked through.

5. Add the arrowroot mixture and cook until the mixture thickens. Add the fresh coriander just before serving.
