It hosts chunks of sweet mango for a lively lift, alongside lime-spiked carrot matchsticks and roasted zucchini permeated with our turmeric-yellow Curry Favour spice blend. The kicker is a cilantro-studded raita for some creamy luxury. Alraita, let’s eat!

Preparation
Cook the rice
Preheat the oven to 450°F. In a medium pot, combine the rice, 1 ½ cups water (double for 4 portions) and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 14 to 16 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.
Roast the zucchini
Meanwhile, halve the zucchini crosswise; cut into ½ inch sticks. On a lined sheet pan, toss with a drizzle of oil, ⅔ of the spices and S&P. Roast, flipping halfway, 6 to 8 min., until browned and tender.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, peel and pit the mango; medium-dice. Juice the lime. Pick ½ the cilantro leaves off the stems; roughly chop the remaining leaves and stems. Roughly chop the cashews.
Make the raita
In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, chopped cilantro, ¼ of the lime juice and S&P.
Dress the carrots
In a medium bowl, combine the carrots, onions, remaining lime juice and spices, a drizzle of oil and S&P.
Finish & serve
To the pot of rice, add ½ the cashews; stir well. Divide the rice between your bowls. Top with the zucchini, mango, carrots and ½ the raita. Garnish with the remaining cashews and cilantro. Serve the remaining raita on the side. Bon appétit!
