đšâđł Instruktioner
- 1
If using protein, season it with salt and pepper and brown it in the pot with a little oil. Remove and set aside.
- 2
Heat the remaining vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- 3
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly, until it darkens slightly.
- 4
Add the chopped tomatoes, curry powder, and paprika. Cook for another 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened.
- 5
Pour in the vegetable stock or water and bring to a simmer. Add the diced carrots, sweet potatoes, and bell pepper. If using protein, add it back to the pot now.
- 6
Season with salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the root vegetables are beginning to soften.
- 7
Stir in the shredded cabbage, sliced okra, and peas. Cook for another 5-10 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- 8
Add the rinsed rice to the pot, ensuring it is submerged in the liquid. If needed, add a little more stock or water. Bring back to a gentle simmer.
- 9
Cover the pot tightly and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid has been absorbed. Avoid stirring too much during this stage.

Once cooked, let the Benachin rest, covered, for 5-10 minutes before fluffing the rice with a fork and serving.
