Get started

Bring the brown rice to the boil with 300 ml water in a small saucepan over high heat, stirring occasionally. Place the lid on the pan and turn the heat to medium-high. Simmer gently for 20-25 minutes or until the rice has absorbed the water and is cooked through. Remove the pan from the heat and let the rice rest with
the lid on the pan for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Saute the onion, garlic and grated ginger root for 5 minutes or until the onion is soft and translucent, stirring occasionally. Add coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala, turmeric and chili flakes and fry for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Stir occasionally.

Stir in the diced tomatoes, stock, cauliflower florets, chickpeas, coconut milk and peas and bring to a boil over high heat. Then turn the heat up to medium and let it simmer for 15 minutes with the lid on the pan, stirring occasionally.
