List of Ingredients
12 ozs Tofu, Firm Lite
1 cup Basmati Rice
10 ozs Spinach, chopped
1 Carrot
1.5 cups Fat Free Vanilla Rice Milk
1 tsp Yellow Mustard Seed
1 tsp Curry Powder
1 tsp Sesame Seeds, Whole, Dried
1 tsp Ginger, Ground
1 tsp Cumin Seed
1 tsp Red or Cayenne Pepper
1 tsp Black Pepper
2 tsp Salt
3 cups Water Recipe
Boil the water and rice milk. (Original recipe calls for coconut milk, which I`m sure makes this even better--but also makes it higher in fat). Add the rice and simmer. For frozen spinach, thaw it and drain all the water; for fresh spinach, wash away all the sand and chop off any stems. Toast the spices over a high flame, shaking the pan, then grind the spices together. After 10 minutes of simmering, add the carrots to the rice. Once most of the water is absorbed into the rice, add the spices and tofu. Three minutes before all of the water is absorbed, add the spinach.
Serve with naan (Indian bread) or a big chunk of crusty bread.
