Made with cauliflower, sweet potatos and potatos, onions, peas and curry. I enjoyed it with a glass of red wine.
I just can’t get enough of curry. It’s an Indian spice that I crave, I can’t help myself! The first time I had Indian food, I was told over and over how addicting it was and I would want to come back for more. For some reason this is true! There were times where I just had to have it.
Since we are not eating out (it’s been 3 weeks now) I decided to make my own Indian dish. Delicious!
What you’ll need:
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 large red onion (halved and cut into small wedges)
2 tsp curry powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp garam masala (what’s this? just another spice – I couldn’t find it so I mixed cayenne pepper, cumin, paprika, cinnemon and crushed cloves together. Very similar in taste)
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
3 cups cauliflower florets
1 14 1/2 ounce can of diced tomatoes with liquid
2 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 cup frozen peas
4 1/2 cups cooked couscous
The procedure:
Heat olive oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until tender, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add curry powder, cumin, cayenne, and garam masala powder. Stir well, cook for 1 minute.
Stir in the cauliflower, tomatoes, potatoes, sweet potatoes, broth, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Stir in the peas; heat through. Serve over couscous (whole wheat would be best!).
This dish satisfied my Indian food craving! It is under 300 calories plus it has 7 grams of fiber. Curry is a strong spice so you don’t need much of it – the curry settled in the cauliflower really nice, you could really taste it. I then topped the night off with a cup of spiced Chai tea (also filled with Indian spices) and I was good to go! I like to add cinnamon, nutmeg, a drizzle of honey and almond milk in my Chai tea. It brings out it’s natural flavor and I didn’t even have to add sugar.
