Curried Rice with Green Beans Recipe

curried riceThe combination of garlic, onion, and curry powder gives this simple dish classic Indian flavor. It is easy to prepare and only takes about 40 minutes from start to finish. I used green beans but you can substitute your favorite steamed vegetable instead.

1 tbsp olive oil
1 large handful of fresh green beans
1 1/2 cups basmati rice
3 cloves garlic, diced
1 yellow onion, diced
1 cube of vegetable bouillon

4 cups of water

Preparation:
  1. Using a steamer, steam the green beans so that they are tender but still crisp, about 5 - 7 minutes. Set aside for later.

  3. In a large pot, add the olive oil and heat over medium heat.
  4. Add the onions, curry powder, and garlic. Cook for a few minutes until the onions become clear and translucent.
