RECIPE IDEAS
In the spirit of International Education Week, here is a curry dish to warm your tummy.
Chicken/Veggie Korma with Basmati Rice
Ingredients
|
1 chopped onion
|
2 tablespoons of oil
|
|
2 cups of chopped cauliflower or broccoli
|
1 package of extra firm tofu or 2 cups of chicken chopped and fried
|
|
1 cup of chopped carrots
|
1 jar of korma curry sauce
|
|
1 cup of peas
|
4 cups of cooked basmati rice
|
Method
Cook the basmati rice according to the package using a pot or rice cooker so you end up with about 4 cups of cooked rice.
Fry the onion, cauliflower, broccoli, carrots and tofu or chicken in a large pot with oil until they begin to soften, and the protein is cooked. Add the curry sauce and peas and simmer for about 5 minutes. Serve the curry over rice and take the leftovers for lunch the next day.
