Lemongrass Saffron Rice

by


One of the easiest thing I cooked and comes out really delicious. Once I made my Thai Curry Paste, I had these Lemongrass Leftovers, which I don’t want to throw for some reasons. (oh..they smell so good). So I quickly think of making rice out of it. (I’m sure there is some recipe for it but right now i’m on high after delivering this recipe.)

Veg Yellow Thai Curry with LemonGrass Saffron Rice

I made my fresh curry paste and veg curry with the help of this wonderful link-
http://thaifood.about.com/od/thaicurrypasterecipes/r/yellowpaste.htm
Omitting few ingredients to make it vegetarian.

Vegetables I used for the Curry-

Sprouted Beans, BokChoy, Green Peppers, Beans, Carrots, Mushrooms, Broccoli, Baby Corns.
All fresh and cut in to big chunks.
Coconut Milk 1 Cup
3 Tbsp Curry Paste
Salt

Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a pan. Add Curry paste and saute until becomes fragrant. If it thicker in consistency add 1/2 cup of coconut milk and fry atleast 1 minute. Now add the rest of coconut milk, keep stirring and add all the vegetables except Bokchoy and Brocolli and salt.
Put it on a medium flame and cook it for 10 minutes or until vegetables are done.
Add water or Coconut milk if it becomes thick and cook it till u can smell the aroma.

(I kept a very light hand on Coconut Milk. You can add more coconut milk if u want but I added water when needed.)

When ready to serve stir-fry Brocolli and Bokchoy with some salt and add it to Curry.
Serve hot with Thai Jasmine Rice or LemonGrass saffron Rice.
