- For Serving: Cooked Rice
- In a wok or large skillet, saute onion, ginger and cumin seeds in the coconut oil over medium heat until the onion is softened and beginning to turn translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Then add all of the spices and root veggies and saute about 8 minutes before adding 1/4 cup of the coconut milk.
- Continue cooking a couple of minutes, allowing the coconut milk to evaporate, then add an additional 1/4 cup of the coconut milk.
- Continue to cook about 5 minutes.
- Then add another 1/4 cup of the coconut milk.
- By now the root veggies should be softening up.
- Test the sweet potato by biting into it.
- If its still not cooked all the way, continue sauteing.
- Cook until the sweet potato is soft, but slightly al dente in the middle (avoid cooking the vegetables to the point that they turn mushy).
- Once the vegetables are finished cooking, add the remaining coconut milk.
- Stir to incorporate the coconut milk.
- Allow it to come to a gentle boil and cook a few more minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
- Remove from heat and serve over rice with freshly chopped basil on top.
- Note: Add a chopped chicken breast and/or shrimp for added protein.
