Cauliflower, kale and chickpeas with black rice
Background
This curried cauliflower, kale and chickpeas with black rice is a simple, healthy, vegan recipe. I made it with leftover boiled black rice. If you don’t have any, just cook a cupful of black rice (mixed with brown basmati, oil preferred) then rest and follow the recipe. Serve with mango chutney or raita on the side.
