Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
While the rice cooks, peel and finely chop the onion, garlic, and ginger. Peel and cube the potatoes and carrots. Seed and dice the green bell pepper.
In a large pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.
Add the garlic and ginger to the pan. Stir for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the tomato paste and sauté for another minute to allow the paste to caramelize slightly.
Add the curry powder, cumin, coriander, turmeric, chili powder, and salt. Stir well to combine, cooking for 1 minute to toast the spices.
Pour in the coconut milk, stirring to combine thoroughly with the spices and onions.
Add the potatoes, carrots, and bell pepper. Stir to coat the vegetables with the curry sauce and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Cover the pan and let the curry simmer for 25-30 minutes until the vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove from heat and let the curry sit for a few minutes.
Serve the curry over the cooked rice, garnishing with chopped cilantro leaves.
