Preparation
Cook the rice
- In a medium pot, combine the rice, 1 ¼ cups water (double for 4 portions) and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 17 to 20 min., until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed.
- Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 min. Fluff the rice.
Mise en place
- Meanwhile, small-dice the sweet potatoes.
- Peel and grate the ginger.
- Mince the garlic.
- Quarter the zucchini lengthwise; cut crosswise into ½ inch pieces.
- Thinly slice the scallion crosswise, separating the white bottom and green top.

Start the curry
- In a second medium pot, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the sweet potatoes and sauté, 3 to 4 min., until beginning to brown.
- Add the garlic, ginger and white bottom of the scallion.
- Sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant.
Finish the curry
- To the pot of curry, add the tomato paste, spices (start with ½ for a milder flavour) and S&P.
- Cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until dark red.
- Add the coconut milk, ½ cup water (double for 4 portions) and S&P; bring to a boil.
- Reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring often, 4 to 6 min., until partially cooked.
- Add the zucchini and cook, stirring often, 8 to 10 min., until thickened and tender.
Finish & serve
