The first time I tasted this meal was in Thailand. First of all, imagine all the burst of flavour in this meal… Once you try this, there’s no going back. This meal, coupled with the basil leaf and coconut oil, is just what the doctor ordered.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cup rice
  • 1/4 cup cold pressed coconut oil (any other vegetable oil will do)

  • 1/2 cup of diced green beans
  • 1/4 cup diced onions
  • 1/4 cup sliced fresh pepper – to taste
  • Curry powder
  • Seasoning

Instructions

  1. Boil rice for 20 – 30 minutes until soft, so it can be mashed when stirred.

  3. Add onions, sliced pepper, carrot and green beans. Stir for about one minute.
  4. Add a teaspoon of curry powder and stir.
