eve11Vegetarian recipes. There is an Indian place on campus that makes two really good dishes that I love: one is potatoes and green peppers, one is tomato/cauliflower. I have yet to make something that tastes right. This time around we're trying again. The tomato/cauliflower recipe is done and although doesn't taste too much like the restaurant version, it's still not bad. Slow cooking the other recipe. So as usual, all spicing is approximate
Tomato-Cauliflower dish
1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
2 tomatoes, cut into chunks
1/4 onion, sliced into wedges
1/2 tsp turmeric
2 tsp chili powder
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 tbsp sour cream
2 tsp curry powder
1 clove garlic
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/8 tsp cayenne powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp oil
1. To a pot of boiling water (enough to cover the cauliflower), add salt, turmeric, 1 tsp chili powder and cauliflower. Boil for 10-12 minutes and drain, reserving 2/3 cup of the pot water.
2. Whisk together 2/3 cup of the cauliflower water with 1 tsp chili powder, cayenne, tomato paste and sour cream.
3. In a skillet, heat oil. Add crushed red pepper and garlic, saute 30 seconds, and add onions. Saute for 2 minutes, add tomatoes and water mixture. Simmer for 5 minutes, add cauliflower and mix together in the skillet. Heat through and serve with rice.
Potato/green pepper dish
I'm giving this a shot real simple-like. Basically, I had about 2 cups of Curry Masala Gravy" frozen, I thawed it out, added 2 big potatoes, cubed, one green pepper, cut in large-ish squares, and a 2 tsp chili powder in a slow cooker (with some water to cover) and am making a kind of stew. We'll see how it turns out.
ETA: Damn, now I have to do the dishes again!
