Instructions
- FOR THE RICE: Place the long-grain brown rice in a colander or strainer and rinse the grains thoroughly under cool, running water. Allow the excess water to drain off. Put the rice in a saucepan along with 2 cups water, then stir in a pinch of salt. Bring the water to a boil, stir, then simmer for 45 minutes. Once rice is cooked, remove from heat and fluff with fork.
- FOR THE VEGETABLES: While the rice cooks, preheat oven to 400 degrees and line two baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray. Chop and prep sweet potatoes, broccoli, red bell pepper, and onion, then spread evenly among two baking sheets. Bake for 15 minutes, remove and stir, then bake additional 10 minutes or until all veggies are cooked to your preference.
- FOR THE SAUCE: In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the coconut oil and stir in minced garlic. Stir frequently and cook 2-3 minutes. Next add all seasonings - graham masala, coriander, cumin, turmeric, paprika, and salt - stir to combine. Stir in the tomato sauce and coconut milk and simmer for 10 minutes until thickened. Add peas half way through.
- Once vegetables are cooked, add them to large skillet with masala sauce, stir to combine. Serve over cooked long grain rice, garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with homemade flatbread or naan bread.
