LAY HO MA!! This rice dish is a real treat. It's incredible fragrant, salty, sweet, smokey, and absolutely delicious. Join me and learn how to make this beautiful coconut chickpea fried rice recipe. Let's begin.

Ingredients:
1 cup basmati rice
1 cup coconut milk

1 tbsp smoked paprika
2 tsp turmeric
generous pinch of salt
1/2 cup shredded coconut
few sprigs cilantro

Directions:
1. Place 1 cup of basmati rice into a small sauce pan. Wash and drain the rice a couple of times to get rid of the excess starch
2. Toast the rice for a couple of minutes on medium high heat. Then, add in 1 cup of coconut milk
3. When the milk starts to bubble, give the rice a good stir to make sure nothing is grabbing the bottom of the pan. Then, cover and cook on medium low for 15min
4. Dice the red onion, coarsely chop the hazelnuts, and chop the broccolini
5. After 15min, turn the heat off and let the rice steam further for 10min
6. Heat up a non stick pan on medium heat. Add the coconut oil
7. Add the red onion and chickpeas followed by the garlic powder, chili powder, smoked paprika, turmeric, and salt
8. Add in the hazelnuts and broccolini
9. Sauté for 3-4min
10. Add the shredded coconut. Sauté for another couple of minutes and taste and adjust the seasoning if needed

Finally someone who cooks and doesn't talk thru half the video. Five stars

[charlesjtwhite]

No BS, no self-promotion and straightforward. How YouTube should be.

Love the 1-word instructions. Easy to follow without a lot of useless chatter. Thank you.

I just made this (with a few modifications) and it was amazing! I didn't have broccoli, so I used Brussel Sprouts, instead. I also substituted almonds for the nuts. A great option when your panty isn't fully stocked! Thanks for this great recipe! ❤

[ktfitz]

Love that you put the recipe in the description box. Not all heroes wear capes, my friend!

I struggle with a lot of mental illnesses and is in a depressive episode now, however I decided to try and cook a complete recipe for the first time in 6 months. I made this and it was quite nice, even if I didn't have all the right ingredients. I'll make it again when I've bought chilipowder, felt it lacking. Thank you for making such an easy recipe for us who need simple instructions to even get started!

Im not sure why youtube suggested this to me but now im binge watching every recipe

As an Indian I typically approach South Asian recipes as put forward by non-South Asians with a healthy dose of skepticism. They usually fall short on flavor and while I appreciate the easy, quicker cooking time, they don't quite hit the note. But this recipe was hands down a family favorite. We all love it and thank you for not making it a weird flavorless version. I follow a bunch of your recipes and none of them have managed to disappoint so far. Your videos are also so on point without useless banter and that 'salesman voice' that many videos tend to have.

I love how you don't hold back on the rice portion. Rice is life!

A few weeKs ago, YouTube suggested your channel. Almost didn’t check it out since I normally would rather read a recipe than watch a video (but you are kind enough to provide both). I wasn’t even sure it would be entirely vegan, but I am so glad I did. My husband died two months ago. I lost some interest in cooking and eating. But thanks to you, I am doing both again and loving it! Your recipes are perfect...healthy but still fun, cooking from scratch but not too complicated. So many people who develop recipes are more about their egos and showing off, but you are all about the food, letting it speak for itself while sharing your joy in creating and eating it. I can’t thank you enough. You thought you are just providing recipes but you’ve given me anew lease on life, helping me cook with confidence, ease, and joy...and then enjoying every mouthful.

I've made coconut rice before, it's delicious. Also, adding a small piece of fresh ginger to the cooking liquid gives a it subtle flavour that is absolutely amazing.

I love this man's cooking, calm and of course confidence. I thought how his videos are beautifully produced and then I found out he's a professional! Ha! His videos are kind of therapeutic to me and of course I love watching those beautiful recipes come to life!

[grannysweet]

I use your videos to encourage me to eat and keep down food during cancer. When I'm well enough to stand and cook
This is the 1st. Recipe I'm going to make. Just lovely.
Thank you for all your hard work.

[milofajjour]

This channel will grow into something phenomenal. And I’m happy to be part of it along the way 😃

[wendycon]

I just made this for dinner. I cooked with confident and it came out soooo good. I didn’t have cilantro but I added some lime and wow! Thanks for the easy to follow recipes. Subscribed.

[VànhKhuyênLê]

It looks so delicious. Thank you so much!

[RobinZipporah]

I really appreciate that you don't mince words, yet manage to effectively thoroughly communicate the essence of your recipes, via videos, step by step & ultimately arriving at the intended conclusion! That's as much of an art as is the art of cooking. GREAT

Like the way you presented your cooking demo - straightforward, easy to understand . Watching from London
