Spread the pieces evenly over the surface. Bake until softened and browned (about 25 minutes). Add the tomatoes and stir. Continue baking until the tomatoes are soft (about 5 minutes). Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
  4. Prepare chutneyIn a blender or food processor, combine the spinach, cilantro, yogurt, 2 tablespoons water, jalapeño, and 1 teaspoon salt on high or pulse until smooth and creamy.
  5. Microwave the peas in a suitable bowl for 1-2 minutes, just until they're defrosted. Use a vegetable peeler to peel the carrots into strips. Divide the rice evenly among 4 bowls. Place the cauliflower, peas, carrots, cashews, potato sticks, and green chutney in each bowl, making neat piles or rows.
