Baby potatoes look so adorable they make me want to pop them into my mouth whole. When I can resist that urge, this is one way I like to cook them.
Curries
Vegetarian dishes to go with an Indian meal, cooked in a sauce/assortment of spices. Curries may be wet or dry, and are eaten along with rice or bread (chapatis, parathas, etc).
Thai-Inspired Potatoes With Sesame Seeds
I’ve been trying out different dishes with my new find this year – the vegan, gluten-free red chili paste from Thai Kitchen. This Thai-inspired recipe using potatoes, onions and sesame seeds is one I specially liked.
Rajma Masala: Kidney Beans, Indian Style
What takes time to cook is not necessarily complex – that statement is so true of rajma masala (kidney bean curry). To the uninitiated, rajma masala might look like the result of sophisticated culinary jugglery. In truth this is one of the simpler gravies you could make in the Indian cuisine.
Aloo Posto: Poppy Seed Spiced Potatoes
Aloo posto is a popular Bengali dish – potatoes cooked in poppy seed paste, served with pooris or plain boiled rice. This delicately flavored curry gets its spice kick from two other trademark Bengali ingredients: mustard oil and panch phoron.
Channa Masala: Classic Chickpea Curry
A multi-spiced dish with chickpeas, channa masala is a great favorite in north India. This is also a wise dish to have on the menu when you’re cooking an Indian meal for a big gathering – it is easy to prepare in large quantities since there isn’t much chopping or watching over involved.
Dahi Aloo: Quick Potato Yogurt Curry
It is no hyperbole to say that dahi aloo is the quickest vegetable curry ever. Ideal for days when you have no time to cook a full meal. Ditch those ready-to-eat boxes- just keep boiled potatoes and yogurt handy and in minutes you can make dahi aloo. This curry goes well with chapatis, or even toast if you’re in a time-saving mode.
Thai Stir Fry Vegetables
An instant stir fry, using a vegan, gluten-free red chili paste from the Thai Kitchen. Easy to make, great-tasting and ultra-flexible, this recipe of thai stir fry vegetables is a godsend for days when you have little bits of many vegetables and don’t know what to do with them.
