    Our Favorite Vegetarian Recipe

    The best way to eat Vegetarian food is to cook it in Curry. To me everything in a curry dish tastes the same, other than the texture I couldn't tell potato from chicken!
    We Love this Chickpea and Carrot Spicy Curry!!!
    The recipe was adapted from The Kitchenist's Spicy Chickpea Curry. 
    3 Tbsp Olive Oil
    1 Onion, diced
    4-5 Carrots, diced
    3 Cloves of Garlic, minced
    1" piece of ginger, minced (or grated in)
    1 tsp ground Cumin
    1 tsp ground Coriander
    1 tsp Turmeric
    1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper
    1 tsp Chili Flakes (even more if looking for revenge on your tongue)
    1 (400gr) can of Chickpeas
    1 (794gr) can of diced tomatoes (liquid and all)
    1 tsp salt

    Greek yogurt and fresh coriander to sprinkle on top!
    Step 1: 
    Heat oil in a pan (frying pan, dutch over, sauce pot what ever you have). Throw in Onion and brown for 2 minutes, add diced carrots and saute for another 2-3 minutes.
    Step 2: 
    Add garlic and ginger and saute for another minute. Then add the cumin, coriander, turmeric, cayenne pepper, chili flakes and cook for another minute.
    Step 3:
    Add Chickpeas, tomatoes and salt to the pan . . . stir!
    Step 4: 
    Turn heat to low and simmer until carrots are cooked through about 20 minutes (depending on how large your dice was).

    Additional add in's: 
    Red pepper, green pepper, potatoes (cooked), corn (although I sure every single person in India is mad at me for saying that right now), egg plant, cauliflower.

    Lee's favorite to eat it is wrapped up in a flour tortilla (or naan bread) with rice and green yogurt! 
    I hope you'll give it a try on your next Meatless Monday!!!

      Sounds yummy. I love curry. I am assuming you meant "Greek" yogurt?

      I am an Indian and I would have to say yes...that 'corn' part can be avoided. But using fresh tomatoes will be much better instead of canned ones. Every 'standard ' Indian curry is prepared pretty much with the same ingredients. :)
      However..glad you tried an 'Indian Version' and liked it...

      That sounds delicious! I'm starting a Meatless Meal link up on Mondays. You should definitely add this to the collection. I'm hoping to get a better variety of meals for my family. I'll be trying this one out real soon.

      We just returned from a week of vacation and too much rich food, so I decided to make this last night as soon as I saw it. I cut back on the spice a bit (kids and all), and used sweet potatoes instead of carrots (purely because we haven't done a full shopping yet), we made some naan (amazing and simple recipe on allrecipes.com) and it was a HIT!!!

      the spammers are getting creative in the comments section, lol.

      well, i'm indian too, and i agree with the corn part! and my grandma would roll over in her grave if she found anyone rolling rice WITH their rotis! it's either rice OR roti - both are fairly heavy grain staples for most people in india. :)
