Here's a calming and restorative dish for everyone. No mechanical process is involved in its creation; even to the point of making your own coconut milk.
Why? You may wonder, why you would make your own when coconut milk is readily available from the supermarket.
It could be argued that making your own using organic dessicated coconut and filtered water is healthier than buying canned, but in truth I don't know that it makes much difference. It's just a lovely sensual and spiritual process manually creating your own with no metal can and opener in sight!
Cover the coconut in 2 cups of boiling water and set aside to cool.
While the water is cooling prepare your vegetables.
Gently stir the coconut water with your hands, and then strain it through a very fine sieve or piece of muslin. Squeeze the coconut pulp with your hands to drain as much of the moisture from it as you can. Once the coconut is dry, place it back in the bowl and add another 2 cups of boiling water to it.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
In an ovenproof pan, heat the coconut oil and add the onion, garlic and chilli to sauté for 3 minutes. Add the turmeric, add lemongrass sauté for a further minute. Add the sweet potato, cauliflower, pumpkin, coconut milk, cinnamon stick and curry leaves. Strain the remaining coconut milk and add it to the curry. Season with sea salt.
Cover the pan with a lid and cook in the oven at 180C for 30 minutes. Add the zucchini and cook for a further 10 minutes.
Serve with a brown and wild rice blend.
Note: Brown rice has a relatively high GI. If you have high blood sugar you may prefer to serve dhal (made with tumeric and water only) as an alternative to rice.
