Indian curried rice with veggs?

Question

and chutney for the top. Please does anyone have authentic instructions on how to make this? I had it years ago made by someone who lived in India and made it for me I lovvvveee it. It was a vegetarian dish, the rice was nice and spicy/warm, chutney was real fruity and she set out toppings for it but i dont remember what they were. I lost track of my friend so I cannot ask her for the recipe. Thank you in advance:)

Two people submitted the same recipe, so I can't choose just one. I'm going to have to leave the vote up to readers, thank you so much for the recipes and links, I really appreciate it.

Answer 1

Hi! It's not made from scratch, but if you go to any asian market (usually) they have a small box that is Golden Curry Sauce Mix. By a company called S & B. You can add whatever u want to it and serve it over rice, it's easy, and so good!

Answer 2

5 cloves garlic
One 3-inch chunk peeled, fresh ginger
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon whole cumin seeds
1/4 heaping teaspoon whole cloves
10 cardamom pods
8 whole allspice
One 3 inch long cinnamon stick, broken in half
1 bay leaf
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 teaspoons curry powder
1/2 jalapeno, or more to taste, in one piece
1/2 cup whole, peeled tomatoes (with puree) roughly chopped
1/2 cup whole milk yogurt
2 1/2 cups water
2 teaspoons kosher salt
6 small red new potatoes (about 10 ounces), quartered
1 1/2 heaping cups small cauliflower florets
4 ounces fresh green beans, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained
Serving suggestion: Basmati rice and chutney
In a small food processor (mini-chopper), combine the garlic and ginger and puree into a paste. Set aside.
Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the cumin seeds, cloves, cardamom, allspice, cinnamon stick, and bay leaf and cook, stirring constantly, until toasted and fragrant and the cinnamon stick unfurls, about 30 seconds. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic-ginger paste, curry powder, and jalapeno and cook, stirring, until lightly browned and fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomato and yogurt and cook, stirring, until they separate from the oil and there is a distinctive sizzling sound, as the sauce "fries" in the oil, about 7 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring, for about 1 minute more.
Add the water, salt, and potatoes and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 10 minutes. Add the cauliflower, green beans, and chickpeas, bring to a boil, and cook, uncovered, until the vegetables are tender and the liquid has thickened, about 5 minutes more. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve with rice and chutney.
Cook's Note: You may add or substitute any number of vegetables as you like in this recipe. Okra or any sort of sturdy green, such as kale, would be welcome additions.

** You can find Basmati rice in the Asian section of the super market, along with a jar of Mango chutney. If you don't want to buy the chutney, here's a recipe for that too :)*

Mango Chutney

2 tablespoons Ghee, recipe follows
1 medium onion, chopped
1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
2 mangoes, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup golden raisins
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 tablespoon tamarind paste or rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Curry Powder, recipe follows
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Heat the ghee in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and ginger and cook for 1 minute. Add the mango, raisins, sugar, tamarind paste, and curry powder. Season with salt and pepper, reduce the heat to low, and cook until everything is soft and the flavors have blended, about 30 minutes. Put the chutney into a bowl and allow it to cool before serving.
Ghee:
1 pound unsalted butter
Put the butter in a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat. Melt the butter slowly and make sure it does not sizzle or brown. Increase the heat and bring the butter to a boil. When the surface is covered with foam, stir gently and reduce the heat to the lowest possible setting. Gently simmer, uncovered, and undisturbed for 45 minutes, until the milk solids in the bottom of the pan have turned golden brown and the butter on top is transparent. Strain the ghee through a sieve lined with several layers of cheesecloth. The ghee should be perfectly clear and smell nutty; pour into a glass jar and seal tightly.
Yield: 1 1/2 cups

Curry Powder (Garam Masala):
2 tablespoons coriander seeds
1 tablespoon cumin seeds
1 tablespoon cardamom seeds
1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1/2 teaspoon whole cloves
2 dried red chiles, broken in pieces, seeds discarded
2 tablespoons turmeric
Toast the coriander, cumin, cardamom, peppercorns, fennel, mustard, cloves, and the chiles in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat just until they smell fragrant, about 2 minutes. In a clean coffee grinder or spice mill, grind the toasted spices together to a fine powder. Add the turmeric and give it another quick buzz to combine. Use the curry powder immediately, or store in a sealed jar for up to 1 month.
Yield: about 1/2 cup
