- 1 large tomato chopped
- 1 large carrot grated
- 1 ½ cups capsicum bell peppers, chopped
- 1 cup peas
- ½ cup sweet corn
- ½-1 cup spring onions chopped
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- ½ teaspoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika powder
- 1 tablespoon vegetable stock powder
- Black pepper to taste
- 3 cups cooked rice with 1 teaspoon turmeric powder added during cooking
Instructions
- Heat the Oil:Heat 2-3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a wok or large pan over medium heat.
- Cook the Vegetables:Add the chopped red onion, capsicum, peas, and corn to the pan. Sauté the vegetables for a few minutes until they start to soften.
- Add Spices:Sprinkle in the cumin, coriander, turmeric, smoked paprika, and curry powder. Stir the spices with the vegetables and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
- Add Vegetable Stock:Stir in the vegetable stock powder, ensuring it coats the vegetables evenly.
- Add Tomatoes and Black Pepper:Toss in the chopped tomatoes and season with black pepper. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften.
- Mix in Carrots and Spring Onions:Add the grated carrots and chopped spring onions. Stir everything together and cook for another minute.
- Add the Rice:Gradually add the cooked turmeric rice to the pan in small increments, stirring gently to combine the rice and vegetables evenly. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan to prevent the rice from becoming mushy.
- Final Stir and Serve:Once all the rice is added and thoroughly mixed, allow it to heat through for another minute or two. The dish is now ready to serve!
Notes
- You can customize this recipe by adding or swapping in your favorite vegetables like green beans, broccoli, or zucchini.
- Make sure to use cold, pre-cooked rice for the best texture. Freshly cooked rice may become too soft and mushy.
- This dish can also be prepared with quinoa or couscous for a variation in grain choice.
