SPICY MEAL
Here we go again. I have been making the following dish for many years and it is a family favourite. I have decided to share it with the world as it is a great vegetarian meal as well as economical. You can make just enough for 4 people or a great big pot full, like I have had to; with so big a family.
This recipe comes from my mom-in-law and is not so much a written recipe as a passed-on, learn-while-you-watch one. It can be varied according to taste. It keeps well, tastes even better the next day. In short, it is ... COMFORT FOOD. You just have to try it. I am sure you will LOVE it!
POTATO CURRY (for 4 people)
8 Potatoes, peeled & chopped into blocks
1 Onion, peeled and sliced
2T Oil for frying
4 Eggs, Hard boiled
1t Curry powder
1/4t Turmeric
Salt & Pepper to taste
Boil potatoes in more than usual water, so that there is still water left after cooked.
Fry onions slightly, add curry and turmeric. Leave on stove for another 2 min or so.
Peel boiled eggs and quarter.
When potatoes are just cooked through but not dry, add curry mix and eggs. Stir through and simmer for another 10min. Season to taste.
There must be a fair amount of liquid left in pot. Mash a few of the potato pieces to thicken the mix.
Serve with chunks of bread.
Yum! This is food to grow kids up on!
Give it a try and let me know what you think. Leave a comment. Till later then xx.
