Vegan Potato Curry

Tonight I made some Vegan Potato Curry. I looked up some recipes on Pinterest for some curries that looked relatively easy. Its definitely starting to feel like winter is coming already, and I thought that some warm-comfort food would be a great idea.

I took a much better picture of my food this time, and I am pretty happy with the results.

Through doing this recipe, and given the fact turned out so well, I have started to wonder how many vegan/vegetarian meals I could make throughout this Inquiry Project. Although I don’t think that I will be able to make all of the recipes veggie, I think it would be an exciting thing to try and get more comfortable with some recipes that are better for the planet.

Below are some adjustments and tips n tricks that I learned through the night.

  • Start off with boiling potatoes
    • Peel potatoes
    • Cut into cubes
    • Boil for 15 minutes
  • Then cut the onion
    • Leaned how to cut an onion properly and with more precision
    • Messy and crying, but best I’ve done it
  • Then put the onion in a pre-heated pan
  • Put together all of the spices while you are waiting on the onions (which need to be stirred every two minutes so that they cook evenly)
    • Pretty much double all of the spices except for cyan because I can’t handle too much spice
    • Rae always adds garlic and onion powder to add a little extra flavor
    • And turmeric for extra color and health benefits
  • Add minced garlic to the onions in the pan
    • Learned to carefully crush the garlic to get the skin off of it
  • Add spices and coat the onion and garlic in the mixture
  • Next, I learned how to peel ginger with a spoon and grate it
    • Add this to the pan
  • Add a can of chickpeas and a can of diced tomatoes
    • You want to squish to tomatoes before adding them to the pan to help them absorb more flavor
  • Strain the potatoes and rinse with cold water
    • You always want to rinse starches with cold water because it helps them stick to the pan less
  • Add in frozen peas and currents
  • Added in coconut milk earlier than normal because the ingredients were looking a little dry
  • Learned how to make real rice (and not 5 minutes rice)
    • Rinse the rice
    • 2 cups of rice and slightly less than 4 cups of water
    • Let the rice boil, stir, and move to a cooler element (low) and leave for 20 minutes
