Monday: Mommy Menu ~ Vegetable Curry & Mango Lassi

Vegetable Curry and Mango Lassi

* Disclaimer, I'm not from India or any other country where curry is commonly served, but I LOVE it, so I made up this recipe based on what my family and I have enjoyed at the homes of friends and eating out at Indian food restaurants.

5 potatoes, chopped

1 onion, chopped

1 stalk celery, chopped

1 can Fri Chik (vegetarian chicken of your choice), chopped

1 can chopped tomatoes

1 can garbanzo beans

1 tsp. ginger

1 tsp. turmeric

2 tsp. curry (yellow kind found in any grocery store, Walmart, etc.)

1 tsp. chili powder

1 tsp. salt

In a medium sauce pan, cook the chopped potatoes until soft. Saute the onion and celery on medium until soft. Add tomatoes, garbanzo beans, and spices. Simmer medium/low for 5-10 minutes. Add the vegetarian chicken and cooked potatoes, and continue to simmer 5-10 more minutes or until ready to serve.

Chop the onion and celery . . .

Cook up 1-2 cups of basmati rice to serve with this curry.

Add the tomatoes and garbanzo beans to the sauted items.

Add the cooked potatoes and vegetarian chicken and continue to simmer on low/medium.
