Curried Yam And Mango Over Basmati Rice Recipes

CURRIED YAM AND MANGO OVER BASMATI RICE

Steps:

• While the rice is cooking, in a large saute pan, melt the butter or ghee and the peanut oil over medium heat and brown the yams until golden on all sides, about 10-12 minutes and until fork tender.
• Next add the onions and brown until softened. Add the curry powder, fresh ginger, coriander, red pepper, and mango; stirring well to coat. Heat through. Season with salt to taste.
• Arrange the rice on a large serving platter and top with the yam/mango mixture.
• Garnish with chopped cilantro leaves.
• Cooking time does not include cooking the rice.

CURRIED AND HERBED BASMATI RICE

Steps:

• Heat medium 3-quart pot over medium-high heat with oil. Add minced garlic. Cook for 2 minutes. Don't burn garlic. Lightly brown.
• Add rice. Constantly toss and stir to coat rice with garlic and oil and lightly toast rice.
• Add chicken stock, curry powder and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cover on simmer til rice has absorbed liquid (about 20 minutes).
• During last 5 minutes of cooking rice, remove lid, add butter, rosemary and parsley. Stir. Recover.
• If liquid is absorbed, reduce heat to low and keep warm. If rice appears dry, add small amount of olive oil. I recommend doing this anyway, as the Extra Virgin Olive Oil adds wonderful flavor.
• Just before serving, add lemon zest to pot and toss to combine all ingredients. Salt and pepper to taste.

CURRIED YAM AND MANGO SOUP

Steps:

• In a large stock pot, melt the butter or ghee and the peanut oil over medium heat and saute the onion slices until softened.
• Stir in the curry powder, fresh ginger, coriander, and red pepper just until absorbed.
• Add the stock, bring to a boil. Next add the yams and mango, reduce the heat and simmer covered for about 30 minutes or until yams are fork tender. Add the salt and taste to adjust seasoning if necessary.
• With immersion blender puree half or all of the soup to desired consistency. (You could also transfer the soup and puree the soup in batches using a blender.).
• Garnish with chopped cilantro leaves.
