Two of the recipes are Madhur Jaffrey's; spicy chick peas and green beans and peas with ginger and coriander, with rice, bombay potatoes and a red lentil curry that I was inspired to recreate after having a very good one at the Natura cafe at Goldies last week.
The green beans and peas were delicious! I cooked them with a little oil and stock in a frying pan, covered for five mins then reduced the stock until there was just 2-3 tbs of water left, then add 1 tsp sugar, 1 tbs chopped ginger and 3tbs of chopped fresh coriander.
The chick peas are a real favourite; vegetable oil, garlic and onions, softened, then added ground cumin and coriander, the chick peas, 6tbs of chopped tomatoes plus a little stock, cook for 5-10 mins then and paprika, cayenne pepper, garam masala, lemon juice and fresh coriander. All the better to be simmered for a while.
The lentil curry was based on my preferred tomato base (see prior blog) then added red lentils and spices.
