Curry recipes?

[Guest guest]

Last night we had the best curry I've ever tasted. It occurred to me that I can enjoy all kids of vegetables in a curry. I would love to find a really yummy recipe with healthy fats that I can make in the vitamix or out. Any ideas out there?Kim in OR

Try making your own curry powder, with fenungreek seeds-WHAT a wonderful flavor! You can make the curry powder (millions of different versions of it) using your favorite spices, then make a curry sauce with coconut milk and the powder-delish!From: lil_joy <lil_joy69@...>Subject: Curry recipes?

If you google Sanjeev Kapoor recipes, you can find some great recipes in

addition to 's suggestion. He is kind of like the Emeril Lagasse of

Indian cooking. And, I believe he is a vegetarian, so there should be lots of

great recipes for vegetables!

Thank you for the good suggestions Joyce, I had never tried real curry powder,

only the supermarket kind and never liked it much. A friend fed me some of the

real deal and of course I was hooked. Also I ordered some chai and am looking

forward to trying that as well. That I like it's usually pretty much cardamom

here I think.

Dr Oz recently had on his show the topic "food as medicine" and ayurveda. There was a recipe for making your own curry powder, and since I couldn't find the ingredients locally, I ordered them online. His guest, Dr Chaudhary, recommended keeping it on the table and sprinkling it on foods as a condiment, much like salt and pepper. I'm looking forward to trying it.Namaste,em / TNPS - from Dr Oz http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/curry-powder-mix --- In , "Sunshine" <lightlady27@...> wrote:>> Thank you for the good suggestions Joyce, I had never tried real curry powder, only the supermarket kind and never liked it much.

Also, , I don't know if you have an Indian grocery store near you, but they

sell at least 50 different kinds of packaged mixes that you just add water and

your food items to. For instance, Vegetables Korma is a yummy dish with a

creamy cashew nut sauce. I have read lots of the labels extensively and to my

knowledge that don't have any MSG or even any sugar to the mixes. They say they

are all natural. One warning, they are very, very spicy, so you might want to

try not using the entire pack of seasoning at one time.

If you do look up Sanjeev's website, you will see that each dish has a pretty

extensive list of spices in the recipe. Indians do not use " Curry Powder " per

se, but use the spices in curry powder in varying amounts depending upon the

dish, the region of India, etc.

I found an Indian grocery not far, I ordered on line cause it's worth it to me

not to have to drive down there the traffic here is getting worse than LA LOL.

I ordered some chai, I'm going to be interested to see what pepper tastes like

sounds good I love pepper. I understand it's full of chromium. I looked at the

mixes but am clueless on translation, is there any English on the box? I can do

some French and a little Spanish but Hindi is all too strange to me. I'm going

to try that one then next time I order then, bravely try some stuff. I like

spicy but not corrugate your mouth

Sounds interesting. I played around with it a bit but not very seriously.

Guess that's the fun of curry you make up your own. Aren't allergies the pits?

I have em too.

I have given up sprouting, had too much trouble with things going moldy. It's

pretty warm here most of the time I guess, even rinsing 3 times a day it was not

worth the aggravation. Maybe one day I will try again. I loved making Essene

bread and crackers.

Thanks for all the tips.

> I can get all of the ingredients for a good curry at my local health food

store, but I mostly use veggies I have dehydrated from my garden.  Fenugreek

seed is one of the main components of curry, but is lovely and mild.  I blend up

the seeds with some dehydrated green, yellow, and red peppers, herbs, sea salt,

and a bit of nutmeg and garam masala-not traditional curry, but I deal with

allergies, so its as close as I can get.  You can add onions, garlic, or other

veggies and herbs to your desired taste. Buzz it all up in the Vitamix for a

lovely seasoning-add a bit of coconut milk to some for a quick curry sauce. 

Fenugreek seeds are also lovely sprouted!

Hi, Terry,

I've been looking for a recipe for Tandoori Sabzi. I had it at an Indian restaurant in the western suburbs of Chicago. It's described as broccoli, bell peppers, onions, cauliflower, and tomatoes marinated in mixed spices and roasted in a clay oven. It was a semi-spicy dish and oh so yummy! I don't have a clay oven though. Can I roast veggies in a cast iron dutch oven? Lorihttp://lifeontheveganedge.blogspot.com/

I do quite a lot of Indian cooking. If anyone would like any recipes just let me know. Actually I just bought a pretty masala dabba. You could use this for any selection of spices. Since indian flavors use a fair amount of spices these are very useful. By the way Indian food is very spiced but not hot. I do make some hot dishes though.Here is the masala dabba I bought. <http://www.amazon.com/Stainless-Masala-Regular-Traditional-SimplyBeautiful/dp/B000T3E96O/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8 & qid=1292427743 & sr=8-2>TerrySent from my iPad

Hey, ,Thanks for the info. I have to say, I'm not keen on using something that could add lead to my food. Yikes! I can stick with my cast iron dutch oven or even foil works for me. Solar cooking sounds very cool. I'll have to check that out. Lorihttp://lifeontheveganedge.blogspot.com/From:

Lori, I just thought I would jump in and let you know you can buy clay "ovens" on ebay. I used to collect them, but found that the clays used to make them often contain high levels of lead and other toxic metals, so I got rid of mine. You can roast the veggies just fine in any other vessel, or even just drizzled with olive oil and roasted in foil. I like to slow roast mine in my solar oven, letting the sunshine bring out the flavors by slowly carmelizing the veggies. Here is a link to some clay ovens selling on ebay, just so you have an idea. I did pretty extensive research on the lead issue, and it was enough to make me quit using them. They do impart an earthy, lovely flavor to things, but that must mean they also impart whatever is in the clay. Solar cooking is the way to go for

me.http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40 & _trksid=p5197.m570.l1313 & _nkw=clay+oven & _sacat=See-All-Categories

[Guest guest]

OK, thanks. The information I was reading wasn't that there was no added lead, it states: "No lead, cadmium or other harmful substances are in the clay mixture, so complete safety is ensured." That would lead me to believe that there is no lead in the clay. I can't imagine they can claim that if it's untrue, but stranger things have happened. Lorihttp://lifeontheveganedge.blogspot.com/

I will look for the info, Lori. It has been quite a few years ago that I researched it. I know that many companies have released newer pots that advertise "no ADDED lead", which does NOT mean there is NO lead-just that they didn't add any more than what was already in the clay to start with. I probably would not ever have been concerned with this if a heavy metal hadn't shown up in my blood work, and the only place it could be traced to was my stoneware. I will let you know if I can find the older articles I did my research with. A Professor at a University in England was able to confirm a lot of my information, and I will see if I still have his contact info.

,I tried my hand at curry last night with the paste I bought awhile back. I pressure cooked some stew meat with some of the paste added to the water. Cooked carrots, broccoli and cauliflower in the water after the meat was done. Then I used that water as part of my water for making the coconut milk in the vita mix. Then blended the milk with more paste. I poured that over the meat and veggie mixture and put that over some forbidden rice.Pretty darn yummy.I'll have to check out fenugreek seeds. I noticed the spice in my paste is cumin and coriander. Can you tell me more about what to add with it? I've never made any kind of spice mixKim in ORFrom: lil_joy <lil_joy69@...>Subject: Curry recipes? Date: Sunday, December 12, 2010, 10:50 PM

Hi ,

I have a Schlemmer-Topf which is not glazed inside as I think the Romertopf is;

does the same lead info apply to it?

thanks,
