Golden Curry Rice

This simple meal for the cold season unites one of the the best food combinations in one pot: Nutty brown rice with a hearty curry. Serve it as a side dish or just eat it on its own.

Rice with curry is definitely on my 'Top 10 Comfort Food' list. A few vegetables and maybe some tofu sautéed and cooked in a spicy sauce made of coconut milk, served on a generous serving of wholesome brown rice. So why not cook it all together? In the end you will mix it up anyway (at least that's what I do).

A few days ago we had a couple of friends over for dinner and I cooked indian food for us. I made a kidney bean curry (aka rajma), my vegan butter chicken (of course!), basmati rice and made homemade naan bread. We wildly scattered it all on our plates, mixed it up and devoured it until we were completely full.

This golden curry rice is also pretty filling and can be served as a meal on its own, even though it's just rice, coocnut milk and veggies. You may also sauté a bit of tofu and through it in to add extra protein. Or fill pita bread with it. Whatever you fancy.

Well, have fun cooking this delicious dish. If you do, please rate this recipe or leave a comment below. You can also tag me on ypur photo on instagram (@veggie.jam #veggiejam).

Enjoy the weekend and Happy Thanksgiving to all my readers from the US! Hope you all didn't get too caught in the black-friday sales!
