How Do I Make Curried Zucchini with Coconut Rice?

Here is how you make Curried Zucchini with Coconut Rice:

Start the rice first. Combine everything in a rice cooker and push the "ON" button. If you have to do this on the stove, cook like you would normally cook rice. The Zucchini: In a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat, heat the spices except the garlic until they are fragrant. Add the butter and combine spices and butter until it forms a paste. Add the Zucchini and about 1/3 to 1/2 cup water and cook (adding water as needed to make a little bit of sauce) until the Zucchini is tender, but not mushy. Turn off the heat. Add the diced tomatoes, the cilantro and the cashews and mix to combine. Serve 1/4 of the Zucchini over 1/2 to 1 cup of rice. ** When I made this I used 1/2 cup of rice when I served it, and 1/4 of the veggies. There was plenty of leftover rice. The calories are computed using one fourth of the rice in the recipe. Notes: A squeeze of fresh lemon juice really brightens the flavors in this dish. A little more cayenne pepper (double?) never, ever hurts. If you don't have cashews hanging around, toasted almonds will do very nicely. A cup of frozen peas tossed in with the zucchini is very tasty, too. Serving Size: 1/4 each of the Zucchini and the Rice**Number of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user THEISLANDGRRL.
