Potato Curry with Spinach & Tomato

Potato Curry with Spinach and Tomato -- Epicurean Vegan

The origin of this meal began with me wondering what to do with some on-the-verge ingredients: tomatoes, potatoes, spinach, and . . . avocado. That’s right, avocado. I know it’s highly unconventional, even ridiculous to incorporate avocado into Indian cuisine, but does it really matter? If it tastes amazing, is it a big deal?

Yep . . . I added avocado my Indian curry and it was delicious! The mild flavor and creamy texture paired beautifully with the Indian spices. I recommend giving it a shot if you’ve got an avocado itchin’ to be eaten. I’m pretty impressed with how this turned out and in such a short amount of time, plus, chances are, you have all the ingredients in your pantry!

INGREDIENTS:
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 Tbs olive oil
3 russet potatoes, nuked, skinned, and cut into cubes
1 can coconut milk
1 C vegetable broth
3 Tbs garam masala
3 Tbs yellow curry
1 tsp turmeric
3/4 tsp salt
3-4 C fresh baby spinach
3 tomatoes, diced
6 C cooked rice
1-2 avocados, peeled, pitted and diced (optional)
1 can of drained garbanzo beans would also be great to add!

DIRECTIONS:
In a large skillet, heat the garlic over medium heat in the olive oil. Add the cooked and diced potatoes; saute for 10-15 minutes or until browned. (Be sure to make the rice during this time, too.)

Curry in a Hurry

Curry in a Hurry -- Epicurean Vegan

I’ve never made a curry sauce before, but I had a general idea of what went in it. I did make a rookie mistake, however, of trying to make it a little thicker by adding a smidgen of arrowroot and water. It made it a little clumpy and a bit too thick . . .it didn’t affect the taste, but I recommend not trying to thicken it up. All in all, it turned out delicious and I’d definitely make this again, especially because it came together in no time. I didn’t make it spicy, but we did top off our servings with some sriracha, which was perfect! I steamed some veggies, but you can saute them, too.

INGREDIENTS:
2 C long grain white rice
3 C water
2 tsp Better than Bouillon paste
Sauce:
1 Tbs olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
3 Tbs curry powder
1 can coconut milk
1/2 C water
1/2 tsp Better than Bouillon
1 Tbs sugar
1 tsp dried basil
3/4 tsp dried ginger
Salt and pepper
The rest:
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1/2″ pieces
1 C edamame
1 C mushrooms, sliced
1/2 C green onion, sliced
1 can sliced water chestnuts
Optional: Sriracha or other hot sauce

DIRECTIONS:
Whisk together the 3 cups of water and 2 tsp of bouillon paste; bring to a boil. Stir in the rice and cook on low for 15 minutes. Prepare your veggies how you’d like: steaming or sauteing. (minus the green onions)

Meanwhile, to make the sauce, heat the olive oil and then stir in the curry powder; cook for 2 minutes.
