In a 4-quart pot, add the red curry paste, cumin, and a splash of vegetable broth. Mash and stir until the curry paste is smooth and no longer lumpy.
Add the remaining vegetable broth, uncooked rice, cubed sweet potatoes, and chopped yellow bell pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes.
Stir in the drained kidney beans, coconut milk, and tomato puree.
Cook uncovered for about 7 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the chili has thickened to your liking.
Stir in the chopped green onions, black pepper, and salt. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve hot and enjoy!
