Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup brown rice
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 medium, diced carrot
- 1 medium, diced green bell pepper
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup low-fat plain yogurt
- 0.25 cup, chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
Rinse the brown rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
In a medium-sized pot, combine the rinsed brown rice and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.
While the rice is cooking, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced carrot, green bell pepper, and onion to the skillet. Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the minced garlic, curry powder, cumin, turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the spices are fragrant.
Add the frozen peas to the vegetable mixture and cook for another 3 minutes until heated through.
Once the rice is cooked, gently mix it into the vegetable-spice mixture in the skillet.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the low-fat plain yogurt until well combined.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
Serve the low-fat curry rice warm, and enjoy your healthy and flavorful meal.
