I made a curry!




I made my first curry today. It's a veggie curry using a Bombay spice mix that I picked up at the aforementioned spice market -- eggplant, butternut squash, red pepper, carrot, broccoli, cauliflower and potato were the base, with a silky curry sauce that simmered for only 30 minutes. I served it over hot white quinoa.

Here are the deets:

Ingredients
Tons of veggies of your choice
Coconut oil
3 heaping tablespoons good curry spice mix (including garam masala and cumin)
1 can tomato paste
2 cups water
1 can evaporated milk
1 white onion + several shallots if desired
1/2 cup minced ginger
salt

Procedure
Sautee onions and shallots 10 minutes in generous coconut oil
Add ginger + 5 minutes
Add curry mix and salt +1 minute, stirring until fragrant
Add veggies slowly, browning in curry mix
Meanwhile, dilute tomato paste in water
Cover veggie mix with tomato water and evaporated milk
Taste and adjust for spice and salt, adding seasoning if necessary
Simmer 30 minutes until toughest veggies are soft
Serve over rice, etc.
