How to cook

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.

Assemble and serve

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.
