Craving Curry?

serves 4-6


ingredients:
2 veggie stock cubes
1/2 cup water
2 large cloves of garlic
1 brown onion
1 red onion
2 cups kumara, potato, and/or pumpkin
2 large handfuls broccoli and/or cauliflower
1-2 cups peas
1 cup of lentils
1 cup of tomatoes (canned or fresh)
1/2 cup peanut sauce
1/2 cup coconut cream
pinch of tumeric, mustard seeds, whole cumin seeds, paprika, cayenne pepper, curry power, garam masala
3 guntur chillies
several drops hot sauce
1 bay leaf


2-3 cups basmati rice (enough to serve however many mouths you're feeding!)
extra coconut cream to flavour rice (optional)




peanut sauce:
if you don't have a pre-packaged peanut sauce on hand, here's an easy recipe you can whip up!


mix together and add to the curry!
1/4 cup crushed peanuts (or you can substitute with cashews for healthier sauce!)
2 teaspoon soy sauce
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
1 Tablespoon fresh lemon or lime juice
1/4 cup coconut milk
1/4 cup water
several drops hot sauce
1 clove minced garlic




1. heat in large pan on medium your stock cubes in boiling water
2. mince garlic, brown onion, red onion, add to stock
3. meanwhile, get boiling your kumara, potato, and/or pumpkin in a separate pan - cut these into inch-thick cubes so they'll only take around 15 minutes to cook! 
4. cut up broccoli and/or cauliflower into smallish pieces & add to stock
5. add peas (we used frozen)
6. add lentils (soaked overnight or canned!)
7. add tomatoes
8. add peanut sauce
9. add coconut cream
10. now get spicin' and flavourin' with a large pinch of each of the spices mentioned above ...if you don't have some of these spices don't worry! just add the ones you have! 
optional: we like our curries pretty hot so we threw in the guntur chillies and several drops of hot sauce! 
also, we didnt have a a bay leaf on hand, but throwing in one of these would boost the flavour as well!
11. add the kumara/potato/pumpkin mix (after draining) & now let the whole curry cook slowly so that those flavours can bloom! 
12. in the meantime cook up some basmati rice


serve and savour!
