Mmm. So, someone else posted about their chicken korma, and I went 'hey, I could do that....'
Except I'm trying to up my vegetables, so I went with a veggie one. And omitted the nuts. And of course no dairy so I omitted serving it with yogurt. Can I still use the name after that? Honestly, I don't care. It was tasty. Curry, yes, but mild and sweet, no bite at all. I might actually increase the spiciness a tiny bit next time...but I might not.
In the crockpot, because I am not up to standing over the stove right now for some odd reason.
The recipe (made up on the fly from what I found all over the internet and my own tastes, and then noted down after):
7 ounces chopped onion (white or yellow; I used yellow)
1 cup lentils, rinsed and picked through
1 tablespoon freeze dried garlic (equivalent fresh chopped would probably be better)
1 tablespoon curry powder
about 2 teaspoons ground cardamom
1 cup raisins
15 ounce can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes
2 pounds frozen vegetables (I got stew vegetables - potato, carrot, celery, and a few pearl onions)
13.5 ounce can coconut milk
2 cups water
Put everything in the crock pot, in that order. I stirred the first three together before piling the rest over top.
Turn the crock pot on high for six hours, stirring once at about the three hour mark and otherwise leaving it alone.
Served over rice tonight, but it was tasty when eaten straight during my test, too. Hee.
Drew picked the raisins out and ate them. Not a total win, but Scott and I were happy. And at least Drew didn't mind the curry overtones to his raisins. :P
