Instructions
- Rinse the quinoa thoroughly in a mesh strainer or sieve, drain.
- Bring 4 cups vegetable stock to a boil in a saucepan. Pour the quinoa into the boiling stock, bring back to a boil.Reduce heat to a simmer and cover the pot. Let the quinoa simmer for about 20 minutes till it becomes tender and all the liquid has been absorbed. Keep a close eye to make sure the quinoa doesn't dry out or burn.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until translucent.
- Add the garlic, tomato paste, turmeric, salt, curry powder, ginger, cayenne and cumin and stir until fragrant. Stir together the water and cornstarch or potato starch, then add the starch liquid to the pan along with the diced sweet potato. Bring the mixture to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Stir in the cauliflower and chickpeas, then cover with lid. Cook for about 13-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cauliflower and sweet potatoes are tender but not mushy.
- Stir in the full fat coconut milk and remove from heat. Add more salt to taste if needed (I always add a few pinches here). Keep covered until ready to serve.
- When the quinoa is done cooking, remove from heat and fluff with a fork. Stir in the chopped parsley and mint. Cover to keep warm.
- To assemble your quinoa bowls, divide the vegetable quinoa between 6 bowls. Top each portion of quinoa with the curry vegetables, then top with with raita, Greek yogurt or labaneh (omit to keep it vegan). Garnish with freshly chopped mint or cilantro if desired. Serve warm.
