Curried Cauliflower and Chickpea Dump Dinner image

Skip cooking a big pot of rice and throw the ingredients into a casserole dish instead for an easy dump-dinner meal. The basmati rice and chickpeas absorb all the delicious flavors of ginger, garlic, curry powder and coconut milk. Finish with a quick drizzle of yogurt along with fresh cilantro leaves and lime wedges for a simple and complete meal.

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Nonstick cooking spray
2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
One 13.5-ounce can unsweetened coconut milk
4 cloves garlic, finely grated
1 tablespoon finely grated peeled fresh ginger (from a 1- to 2-inch piece)
1 serrano chile pepper, stemmed and finely chopped (remove seeds for less heat)
2 1/2 teaspoons curry powder, preferably Madras
Kosher salt
Two 15.5-ounce cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 cups lightly packed baby spinach, roughly chopped
1 1/2 cups basmati rice
1/2 medium head cauliflower, cut into small florets (about 3 heaping cups)
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
Cilantro leaves, plain whole-milk yogurt and lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
  • Whisk the vegetable broth, coconut milk, garlic, ginger, serrano, curry powder and 2 teaspoons salt together in a medium bowl until combined. Add the chickpeas and spinach and stir to coat.
  • Spread the rice evenly in the bottom of the prepared dish. Pour in the coconut-milk mixture, distributing the chickpeas and spinach evenly over the rice. Scatter the cauliflower and onion over the top, making sure to go all the way to the edge of the pan (it's okay if the cauliflower is not completely submerged in liquid).
  • Cover tightly with foil and bake until the vegetables have softened but are still vibrant, about 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until the cauliflower is charred in spots and the rice is cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes more. Let sit for 5 minutes to allow the rice to absorb more of the moisture. Serve topped with cilantro, a drizzle of yogurt and lime wedges for squeezing.

CHICKPEA CURRY WITH YOGURT



Chickpea Curry With Yogurt image

From CookingLight Whole milk yogurt contributes a silky, creamy texture to this mild vegetarian stew from India. Serve with steamed or sautéed spinach and Indian bread. Replicate naan, the Indian flatbread, by cooking flour tortillas in a grill pan or cast-iron skillet until blackened in spots. The cinnamon sticks and bay leaves are removed before the dish is served, but the cardamom pods are more difficult to fish out. Be careful as you eat not to bite into one.

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 minced onion
2 tablespoons julienned ginger
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 can (15.5 ounces) rinsed and drained chickpeas
Yogurt, for serving
Cilantro sprigs, for serving

Steps:

  • Saute onion, ginger, and garlic in oil. Add curry powder and cook 30 seconds. Stir in tomato paste and cook 1 minute. Add chickpeas and cook until heated through; season. Serve with yogurt and cilantro sprigs.

Tips:

  • To make the curry paste from scratch, blend together 1 teaspoon of coriander seeds, 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds, 1 teaspoon of fenugreek seeds, 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon of red chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 cup of vegetable oil.
  • If you don't have time to make your own curry paste, you can use a store-bought brand. Just be sure to choose one that is made with all-natural ingredients and has a good flavor.
  • Use canned chickpeas for this recipe. They are already cooked, so they will save you time. If you want to use dried chickpeas, you will need to soak them overnight and then cook them before using them in the recipe.
  • Be sure to rinse the chickpeas well before using them. This will help to remove any excess starch and make the dip smoother.
  • If you like your dip spicy, you can add more red chili powder to taste. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for an extra kick.

This curried chickpea yogurt dip is a delicious and healthy snack or appetizer. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it spicy or mild, this dip is sure to please everyone. Serve it with pita chips, vegetables, or crackers for a satisfying and nutritious treat.
