morning rice

You can make this satisfying dish with freshly cooked or leftover basmati rice, I think it would also work well with long grain brown rice.

Simply fry up a red onion in coconut oil with some finely diced carrot and peas, then add some cumin, coriander, turmeric and my favourite, curry leaves. saute until the vegetables are soft and the spices fragrant, then add the rice, salt, pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice.

If you’re looking for extra protein, you can add either chickpeas or mung beans to the dish.

It doesn’t quite have the same flavour as the ones my Indian friends make but as morning snacks go, it’s pretty darn good!
