- Add onions and 2 tbsps of oil to a blender and pulse until smooth. Transfer to a medium bowl.
- Add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and habanero pepper to the blender, and pulse until smooth. Place in a separate medium bowl.
- Heat the remaining 80 ml of oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.
- Once the oil heats up, add the onion puree and cook until the water has evaporated and the puree is starting to brown, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in the tomato puree and add the curry powder, garlic powder, ginger, dried herbs, and crushed bouillon cubes. Cook for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the stew has reduced by half and is deep red in color.
- Add the rice , mixed vegetables and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot with foil and a lid. Simmer for another 30 minutes, until the rice is cooked through and the liquid is absorbed.
- Enjoy!
