Week of food `Vegetarian`
>> February 19, 2009
Here is my vegetarian dish for today.
Chickpea potato curry with mango chutney
2 tbsp olive oil
1 onion chopped
1 can of chickpeas rinsed and drained
5 medium sized potatoes diced
1 tsp salt
fresh cracked pepper
1 tbsp cumin
1 tbsp paprika
1 can of tomato paste
2 cups water
In a heavy bottomed pot cover potatoes with water and boil until almost fully cokked, but still a bit crisp
In a pan saute onions in olive oil. Add chickpeas, cumin, paprika, salt and pepper, cook for about 5 minutes. Add in tomato paste, water and drained cooked potatoes. Simmer for about 15 minutes (add more water if the sauce gets dry.
Mango Chutney- I never use a recipe so here is sort of what I do. Take about 1/2 cup diced mango (can use frozen), 1/2 a small onion diced, 1 tsp salt, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1/2 juice of one lemon and a few shakes of your fav curry powder, cook until everythng is soft and mash the mango with a fork.
Serve the chickpea potato curry with a dollop of chutney, a dollop of plain yogurt, some mint, some naan bread or some basmati rice or whatever the heck else you like :) But don't skip the chutney.. I promise it makes this dish!!!
