      Vegetarian Recipes

      Vegetarian Curry with Stir-Fried Cabbage

      Vegetarian curry and stir-fried cabbage can be served with basmati rice and papadams as condiments. Papadams are a thin, crisp, disc-shaped Indian food made from lentils, black gram, chickpeas, and rice flour. This dish is very simple to cook and is filled with nutrients.

      As with most of the dishes where rice is involved, I will be using basmati rice because it is gluten free and low in fat, and it tastes sensational.

      Ingredients required for the vegetarian curry:

      Method for cooking vegetarian curry:

      43181.png Preparation of ingredients: 10 to 15 minutes

      43183.png Cooking time: 30 minutes

      1. Wash 1/2 cup of orange lentils and soak in a bowl of water with 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder, a pinch of salt, and 1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil.

      2. Heat the curry pot over a medium flame on the stovetop and pour in 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Reduce the heat to low and add minced garlic and ginger, sliced onions, curry leaves, black mustard seeds, 1/2 teaspoon of crushed chili flakes, and turmeric powder, and stir-fry all the ingredients until golden brown.

      3. Add all the cut potatoes, carrots, and tomatoes to the pot and stir-fry for another 10 minutes.

      4. Then, pour the orange lentils that have been soaking in water with turmeric and salt to the curry pot and stir all the ingredients together.

      5. Add another 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric and 1 teaspoon of salt and pour in 1 liter of water. Stir the curry and let it boil for 10 minutes on a medium heat. Please do not let the curry evaporate; add another ½ liter of water and allow the curry to boil for another 20 minutes or until all the ingredients are cooked.
