Sometimes what you need for cooking inspiration at home is a good meal out. After eating at Everest on Grand, all I could think about was Indian food, so I decided to whip up a little curry.
The only thing this Vegetarian Times recipe for Curried Potatoes with Cauliflower and Peas was missing was the tofu, so I added some on the side (not pictured). For meat eaters, consider adding some roasted chicken.
Here’s their recipe:
- 2 tsp. ghee or melted butter (I used butter)
- 1 10-oz. pkg. diced onions, or 1 large onion, chopped (2 cups) (I used onion)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced (4 tsp.)
- 2 tsp. minced fresh ginger
- 1 ½ tsp. curry powder
- 1 tsp. ground cumin
- 1 tsp. brown mustard seeds (I used ½ tsp. ground mustard)
- ½ tsp. ground turmeric
- 6 Yukon gold potatoes, cut into ½-inch pieces (1½ lb.)
- 1 head cauliflower, cored and cut into 1-inch pieces (1½ lb.)
- 1 tsp. sugar
- 1 cup frozen peas, thawed
1. Heat ghee in pressure cooker* over medium heat. Add onions, and cook 2 to 3 minutes, or until softened. Stir in garlic, ginger, curry powder, cumin, mustard seeds, and turmeric, and sauté 2 minutes. Add potatoes, cauliflower, sugar, and ½ cup water.
2. Close pressure cooker, and bring up to high pressure. Cook 5 minutes.
3. Release pressure with quick-release button, or transfer pressure cooker to sink, and run cool water over rim to release pressure.
4. Stir peas into cauliflower mixture, and season with salt and pepper, if desired. Serve hot or at room temperature.
Serves 6, ready in 30 minutes or less
* While I have a pressure cooker, I made mine on the stovetop. I followed the instructions above but simmered on low for 20-30 minutes.
** To make a vegan version of this vegetable curry, substitute vegetable oil for the ghee. Serve with rice and Cucumber Raita.
This looks delicious… I just found your blog and really like your recipes!
Keep up the great work,
