Curry for dinner

Yellow curry or what ever it is called, not green curry and def not the red curry with coconut milk.

Plain old turmeric colored curry.

Totally awesome. And despite some protestation and denial I think I'm going to start with one tag: Food.

A concession I will make because someone asked. Why not.

So

I've had it in my mind to make some red lentils and something for a while. I didn't feel like making burritos tonight. Sure they are awesome and so good, but since the clouds in my head rolled back and the mental baggage fell off somewhere along the way, and just like G-Ride had planned the hangers for the Blue were waiting for me.

Food. Right.

So yeah it isn't vegan or vegetarian and hell since I'm using COW it really isn't indian. But I didn't have any ground lamb or turkey, so I used some ground beef.

Beef. Brown in pan...
Add one chopped onion...

then some curry powder, extra turmeric, fresh grated ginger, and cardamom and let it get nice and odorous.

Meanwhile cook 1 cup of lentils in 2.5 cups of water (or use stock if you have some laying around).

And 1 cup of rice in water with some turmeric and oil to another pot on the stove.

So while rice and lentils are cooking, add some carrots to the ground beef, once they are softened add a bunch of diced sweet potato to the beef.

Then add the lentils and water and salt (if your curry powder doesn't have any in it) to the beef and sweet potato mixture.

So, cook until the potatoes are soft, adding water or stock to keep at the right consistency (stew like).

10 minutes before serving, add a bunch of frozen peas.

To serve put some of the rice in a bowl, add the beef/lentil/sweet potato curry and then a spoonful of yogurt on top (and a bit of Shirachi if you want some more heat than the ginger).

Eat and enjoy. Tasty.
