Method
Turmeric Rice
- Combine “garlic onion oil” ingredients in a pan and cook over medium-low heat for 8 mins to infuse flavours. Remove from heat once onions & garlic turn light brown. Set aside.
- Rinse and prepare rice in a rice cooker as per rice cooker instructions. Mix in remaining ingredients into the rice cooker and start cooking.
- Once rice is cooked, pour in the garlic onion oil and mix the rice well, fluffing it in the process.
Curried Minced Meat
- Combine everything, except onion, garlic & soy sauce, into a bowl and mix well.
- In a pan, fry diced onion and garlic in 2 tbsp of oil over medium-high heat for 1 – 2 mins, until onions are translucent.
- Add the minced meat mix and fry for 2 – 3 mins until cooked, making sure to break any large chunks of meat. Add soy sauce and mix well. Remove from heat and set aside.
Garlic Yoghurt Sauce
- Add salt and garlic on the chopping board. Use your knife like a butter spreader, press and spread the garlic-salt mix for 1 min until it becomes a rough paste.
- Combine remaining ingredients and mix well. Refrigerate.
Assembly
In a bowl, top the turmeric rice with lettuce and curried minced meat. Drizzle over 2 tbsp of garlic yoghurt sauce, 1 sprig of chopped coriander and any additional garnishes you like.
