LEARN HOW TO MAKE COCONUT CHICKPEA BASMATI RICE RECIPE
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
1/2 red onion
1/4 cup hazelnuts
1 cup broccolini (chopped)
1 tbsp coconut oil
1 cup canned chickpeas
1/2 tbsp garlic powder
1 tsp chili powder
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
11. Plate the rice and add the coconut chickpeas on top. Garnish with some freshly chopped cilantro

This was delicious! I substituted spinach for the broccolini.
Dry food, horrible he could barely eat it
Love, love, love your cooking show.
I love that u put recipes right here not like others u got go elsewhere to get it
Amazing another easy healthy recepie by you 👏
Agree with comments….less chatting and more of the vedio
Some thoughts after trying this dish, I wish the measurements could be more accurate.
1. It's better to use a rice cooker instead of cooking in the pot, the hardest way. In the video two cups of rice was used but only one cup of coconut milk. Should just blend the coconut milk with water to cook the rice. As mine turned out to be terrible, slaggish and uncooked..I can't even reverse to save it. No way to cook like that and have it ready in 25 minutes including 10 minutes off heat.
2. Veggie part is a bit plain. I wish it somehow tastier.
Other than that, dish itself is fine. It is dry overall. Rice doesn't taste coconut creamy. Definitely not amazing as I had anticipated!
Looks delicious 😋 going to try
Amazing recipe, made it yesterday and turned out great.
You cooked the rice wrong. You're suppose to rinse the rice after you cook it. ~ BBC
Already made something similar for years, gonna try this variation. Looks t a s t y
THIS WAS FUCKING BOMB!
Even without the hazelnuts!
Hi! This looks so good. I want to try it but need some tips please. Should I get sweetened or unsweetened shredded coconut and coconut milk ?? Thanks!!
Made this yesterday with zucchini instead of broccolini, and it's wonderful 🙂
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
I just made the dish…and it's bitter! ☹ It seems to be the onion…. Suggestions anyone, well other than not adding the onion !?
I made this in a double batch tonight!! 🤤🤤🤤🤤 It is one of my absolute favorite curries 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 with a touch of sriracha too yassss ❤️
I made this recipe and loved it! The flavor was amazing, walnuts added an awesome texture along with the coconut shreds, the broccoli was the perfect vegetable to pair this dish with and the coconut rice was the crem de la crem. Very satisfied with this recipe, thank you!
#goveganworld 🙏🏻
I'm absolutely confident that it will taste good, BUT it will also be very dry. Needs liquid or sauce to balance all the dry ingredients.
Thank you for this delicious recipe. It is healthy, and really good. I too added ginger (grated) to the coconut, and rice. I added toasted finely chopped almonds because that was what I had on hand😊
Thank you for the recipe
It tastes delicious, but for me the chickpeas with all the spices are too dry, I added a little bit of water, but it helped not much.
I made your vegan sushi Buddha bowl last night – WOW😲😲😲 It is absolutely incredible- it’s like eating sushi it blew my mind as well as my husbands!
Could you answer a question for me though please? Is this full fat coconut milk from a can or the very thin consistency refrigerated coconut milk ? I’d love to make this I just want to make sure I’ve got the right ingredients! Thank you for your time, your amazing recipes!, and the power of positivity & simplicity in your videos! I truly admire your work 🥰
I already cooked it 😋 so yummy thanks for the recipe 😊
God bless you for making vegan and sharing recipes.
GREAT video! Thank you!
I added one tablespoon of Coconut 🌴 milk to the chickpea, broccoli, spice mix, just for a little liquid. Great 👍 recipie 🌟🌟🌟
Thank You Wil Young, great 👍 Chef 👨🍳 🎉
WOW ! This seems to be amazing !! I will cook it these days…thank you and yes I can sign it also … less word, top meal ;)))
