Three-Vegetable Curry

Vegetarian Times Issue: November 1, 1999   p.52   —   Member Rating: -

Briefly frying the curry paste, made with curry powder and water, eliminates the raw spice taste and enhances flavor. For a less assertive dish, reduce the curry powder to 2 tablespoons.

Ingredient List

8 servings

  • 3 Tbs. mild curry powder or 1 Tbs. hot curry powder plus 2 Tbs. mild
  • 1 Tbs. vegetable oil
  • 1-lb. bag baby carrots
  • 1-lb bag cauliflower florets, large pieces halved
  • 2 cups low-fat soy milk
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 2 Tbs. all-purpose flour
  • 10-oz. pkg. frozen peas
  • Freshly cooked brown or white rice for serving
  • Chopped scallions, chopped dry-roasted peanuts and prepared mango chutney, as needed

Directions

  1. Place curry powder in small bowl. Whisk in 3 tablespoons water until thickened and paste forms.
  2. In large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Stir in curry paste and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add carrots and cauliflower, stirring to coat. Stir in soy milk and salt, increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until vegetables are just tender, about 15 minutes.
  3. In small bowl, whisk together flour and 2 tablespoons water until smooth. Stir into vegetable mixture until well blended. Cook, stirring often, until curry thickens, about 5 minutes. Add peas and cook 1 minute to heat through.
  4. Serve at once with hot cooked rice and small bowls of chopped scallions, peanuts and chutney for topping.
