The Method

1
Heat coconut oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
2
Add red bell pepper and carrot and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3
Stir in curry powder, turmeric, cumin, and coriander. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
4
Add diced tomatoes, coconut milk, vegetable broth, chickpeas, and broccoli florets. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 20 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
5
Stir in soy sauce and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6
While the curry is simmering, prepare the coconut rice. In a medium saucepan, combine basmati rice, coconut milk, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until rice is cooked through and liquid is absorbed.
7
Fluff the rice with a fork.
8
Serve the curry over coconut rice, garnished with fresh cilantro.

"The grilled pineapple adds a smoky sweetness that complements the curry's spices, while the coconut sorbet offers a cool, creamy element that echoes the coconut milk in both the curry and the rice. The toasted coconut flakes provide a satisfying crunch and enhance the overall tropical theme, creating a light and refreshing end to a hearty meal."
