BLACK RICE
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Rinse the rice and place in a pot. Add in the stock, submerge in 300ml of salted water, and place over a medium heat. Pop on a lid and bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 30-35 minutes until the water has been absorbed. On completion, the rice should be cooked but bouncy. If it starts to dry out during the cooking process, add a little more water to continue. Remove from the heat on completion and drain if necessary. Replace the lid and set aside until serving.
MARINATE THE Tofu
Place the Balti curry paste, a pinch of salt, and 2 tsp of olive oil in a shallow dish. Mix until it forms a smooth paste. Place the slabs of Tofu in the dish, toss to coat, and set aside to marinate until frying.
CHAR THE VEGGIES
When the rice reaches the halfway mark, spread out the broccoli pieces and onion wedges on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, some seasoning, and the Tandoori Rub to taste. Roast in the hot oven for 15-20 minutes until cooked through and lightly charred, shifting halfway.
WHIP UP YOUR DRESSING
In a small bowl, combine the coconut yoghurt with the coriander & chilli pesto to taste. Mix in milk or water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Season to taste and set aside for serving.
GET THAT Tofu CRISPY!
When the roast veggies have about 5 minutes to go, place a pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the marinated Tofu for 2-3 minutes per side until crispy and golden all over. Remove from the pan on completion.
CRUNCH TIME
Serve up some nutty black rice and load with the charred broccoli and red onion. Top with the slices of curried Tofu and generously pour over the coriander-coconut dressing. Decorate with the toasted coconut flakes and dig in, Chef!
