Vegetarian pilaf with millet, cauliflower, paneer, and cashews for a delicious twist on a classic recipe.
Ingredients:
  • 42.00 gm coconut oil
  • 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
  • 20 fresh curry leaves
  • 1 brown onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1/2 bunch fresh coriander, roots and stems finely chopped, leaves picked
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 215g (1 cup) millet
  • 1 gluten-free vegetable stock cube, crumbled
  • 1 small head cauliflower, trimmed, cut into florets
  • 3.75 gm hot madras curry powder
  • 200g paneer, cut into 2cm pieces
  • 80ml (1/3 cup) coconut milk
  • 1 lime, rind finely grated, halved
  • Cashew nuts, toasted, to serve
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 200C/180C fan forced, then prepare a baking tray by lining it with baking paper.
  • Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and cook for 30 seconds until aromatic. Add curry leaves and cook for 30 seconds. Then, add onion and cook for 3 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic, coriander root, and turmeric and cook for another minute. Add millet and cook for 1 minute. Pour in water and stock cube, bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and cook for 18-20 minutes until millet is tender. Let it sit covered for 5 minutes before serving.
  • Place cauliflower in a bowl and drizzle with 1 tbsp oil, sprinkle 1 tsp curry powder, season, and toss to combine. Spread on prepared tray and roast for 15 minutes. In another bowl, mix paneer with remaining 2 tsp oil and 1⁄2 tsp curry powder, season, and spread over tray with cauliflower. Roast for an additional 15 minutes until golden.
  • In a small bowl, combine the coconut milk, lime rind, and juice from half a lime. Spoon the cauliflower mixture over the pilaf, garnish with coriander leaves, drizzle with the coconut milk mixture, sprinkle with cashews, and serve with the other lime half.
