Cook the basmati rice according to the package instructions.

Heat 2 Tbsp oil in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onions, season with salt & pepper, cook until the onions are dark brown & caramelized, about 10 minutes. Stir in 2 tsp curry powder & garlic, cook for 30 seconds. Remove from pan.  

Add 1 Tbsp oil, add potatoes & carrots, season with salt & pepper.  Cook for 10 minutes.  Add 1 tsp curry powder & cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute.  Add onion mixture back to pan.

Pour in the stock & stir to scrape up all the brown bits in the pan. Add the chickpeas, coconut milk, honey & a squirt of sriracha.
