Curried Rice - Quick Nutritional Healthy

Part of my awakening journey is learning to cook nutritious meals. I really enjoy this dish and its so quick to make. Quicker than shoving something processed in the oven.

The original recipe came from my new Ayurveda Chef coach , Michelle Palmer. http://www.michellepalmer.net/

Michelle recently came over and helped me look through my cupboards and take out anything that was overly processed. Luckily there was only a few things. We then went shopping in local whole food store http://www.gaia.coop/

Yes it was more expensive because I needed to stock up on some new lentils etc (and organic often costs more) - but these dishes can last a few days so really it does work out more economical. Which is what I'm working towards.

My take on the original recipe is as follows.

Curried Rice

2 tsp of extra virgin olive oil (you can use sunflower or a few sprays of 1 cal extra virgin olive oil)

1 bag of quick cook white basmati rice (would have preferred cooking brown from scratch but I was all out)

1 small red onion (minced or finely chopped)

1 can of butter beans

1/2 red pepper chopped

Spices

1/2 tsp turmeric
1 tsp coriander
1 tsp black mustard seeds
1/2 cumin seeds

1/2 cup of water (sorry in the vid I said two and that's way too much) Just use the water to simmer off the meal.

Compliments:

I had my curried rice with hot salmon in mustard seeds (Marks & Spencer) and some chopped baby tomatoes. You don't need a lot of this meal to make you full and it can be put in the fridge for the next day.

The curry taste is very mild and suitable for children.

Will be doing more cookery vids as my journey continues...:) Vx
