Preparation
Start the rice
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- In a medium pot, combine the rice, 2 ½ cups water 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, remove the core of the cauliflower; cut the head into bite-size florets.
- Roughly chop ¼ of the spinach.
- Mince the garlic.
- In a small bowl, microwave 3 tbsp butter, in 15 sec. increments, until melted.
Roast the cauliflower
- In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower, ½ the melted butter, ⅓ of the garlic, ⅓ of the spices and S&P.
- Arrange on a lined sheet pan and roast, stirring halfway, 14 to 16 min., until lightly browned and tender.
- Return to the bowl. Reserve the lined sheet pan.
Start the makhani
- Meanwhile, in a large, high-sided pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium.
- Add ⅔ of the remaining garlic and the remaining spices. Sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant.
- Add the coconut milk, tomato sauce, demi-glace and S&P; bring to a boil.
- Reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 5 min., until the flavours have combined and the sauce is slightly reduced.
Finish the makhani & rice
- To the pot of rice, add the chopped spinach and S&P; stir well.
- To the pan of makhani, add the cauliflower and whole spinach.
- Cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until the spinach has wilted.
Make the garlic naan & serve
- To the bowl of remaining melted butter, add the remaining garlic; stir well.
- Arrange the naan on the reserved lined sheet pan and brush with the garlic butter; season with S&P.
- Toast in the oven, 2 to 3 min., until warmed through.
- Divide the rice between your bowls.
- Top with the makhani.
