White Girl Curry…

I never cook with a recipe, not ever. So I did a little experiment and wrote down what I did yesterday when I was cooking dinner. This is not a super quick recipe, takes about an hour or so, least it takes me that long. I take my time, throw on some music and go to that peaceful place that cooking takes me. So here goes:


1 onion chopped

3 cloves of garlic minced

Get out a big pot/wok with your stove on medium, heat up about a teaspoon of canola oil and lightly brown the onion and garlic

then add 2 tomatoes chopped

1 can of coconut milk

Now add the Flavour Ingrediants:

1/4 cup peanut butter

juice of 1 lemon

1 teaspoon of:  salt, curry powder, cumin, chili powder, grated ginger or powdered ginger

3 whole cloves

hot pepper flakes (as spicy as you like it)

splash of maple syrup, yes maple syrup, about a table spoon or so..

Now the main stuff:

4 chopped carrots

1 block of firm tofu cut into cubes

1 can of drained chick peas

1 head of cauliflower ( this goes in last so it doesn’t get mushy)

Stir it up and taste it, if it’s bland add more of the flavour ingrediants in particular salt.

Cover and set your stove to low, stir occasionally. Takes about 20 minutes, just enough time to make basmatti rice.
