this is based on a joy of cooking curry powder recipe...
1 part each (about a tablespoon):
ground cumin (if you are able to grind the seeds *swoon*)
ground cardamon (same as above...although i think the shells make it a little bitter, but not bad)
ground coriander
powdered ginger
3 parts turmeric
if you like spice, add cayenne pepper
boil/steam potatoes and sweet potatoes (one each) and cauliflower (half or a quarter a head)
fry some onion and fresh ginger if you've got it.
add chicken/shrimp/lamb/tofu
cook til the meat is done
add your spice mix and cook for a quick bit
add half a can of coconut milk and half cup of stock/water
add chickpeas, tomato, spinach and whatever veg you have in the fridge (grate in some zucchini, slice up some mushrooms....)
bubble until the potatoes and cauli are done and toss them around.
call rebecca and tell her to get her butt over for curry!
serve over rice/quinoa.
this makes enough for 2 people for 2/3 days, or maybe 4-6 people
play with it. enjoy.
i love cooking shows. i learned this about ginger:
stick it in the freezer, use a grater (all we have is a big hole one and it works...great)
and grate off as much as you need and stick it back in the freezer! wow! love it!
oh, and i have no doubt that omega 3/6 is very important. i've been eating flax and/or hemp everyday for a month, and i feel wonderful.
