Did an indian-style chick-pea curry that turned out really well.



Fried 1 and 1/2 decent-sized cooking onions in olive oil, with a few cloves of garlic, some cummin seed, mustard seed, and a bit of hot Madras curry powder (what was left in the bottom of the tin). until the onions were tender.

Poured in one can of tomatoes, one can (rinsed) of chick peas, two healthy dollops (3 tbsps?) of tamarind paste, 3 healthy dollops of Patak's Madras curry paste (5 tbsps?). Chopped up some chinese green that gabriel_le had sitting in the fridge, and stirred that in. Finally dumped in a really heaping 2/3 cup of sweetened shredded coconut. Simmered for about an hour - hour and a half, then served with red rice.

Yummy.


gabriel_le really liked it, too.

My goodness that must have been spicy. Sounds really good though! I might have to try something similar.

Tuesday was "throw a bunch of stuff together and make it into food" unexpectedly. There was freezer burned chicken in the fridge and a bunch of spices in the cupboard. Thankfully, food was made and it was good. :)

It was flavourful, yes, but not overly hot. It is possible the coconut may have helped to moderate the heat a bit.
