Comforting Curry with a Kick
We had one really brisk week here, so I was inspired to make a bunch of warm, comforting meals. This Fall Vegetable Curry was one of them. It was quick and easy, not to mention healthful and delicious.
Fall Vegetable Curry with Cashew Basmati Rice (Cooking Light, October 2010)
1 1/2 tsp. olive oil
1 cup diced peeled sweet potato
1 cup small cauliflower florets
1/4 cup thinly sliced yellow onion
2 tsp. Madras curry powder
1/2 cup organic vegetable broth (such as Swanson)
1/4 tsp. salt
1 (15-oz.) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), rinsed and drained
1 (14.5-oz.) can no-salt-added diced tomatoes, undrained
2 Tbs. chopped fresh cilantro
1. Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add sweet potato to pan; saute 3 minutes. Decrease heat to medium. Add cauliflower, onion, and curry powder; cook 1 minute, stirring mixture constantly. Add broth and next 3 ingredients (through tomatoes); bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes or until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle with cilantro; serve with yogurt.
Cashew Basmati Rice
Cook 1 cup basmati rice according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Stir in 1/4 cup unsalted cashew pieces and 1/4 tsp. salt.
