Potato Cauliflower Curry

Yes we haven't posted a new blog post in nearly four months.  That is mostly because we haven't done much that has been noteworthy.  Considering we already have a couple hundred posts mostly about food we've made there hasn't been a lot of new ground to cover recently. Luckily though for the loyal blog reader I received quite an exciting new book that has 660 new recipes we are slowly working our way through.

We've already made a few of the recipes a couple times and everything we've tried so far has been delicious and relatively easy to make.  You do have to track down a few spices, but that shouldn't be any trouble.

I started by finely chopping 4-6 cloves of garlic and a big finger worth of ginger.  I cooked those together for about a minute.



I then added about a pound of potatoes with 2 teaspoons garam masala, 2 teaspoons salt, and a quarter teaspoon of tumaric.  That cooked with the garlic and ginger for a couple minutes.


I then added a pound of cauliflower and a can of diced tomatoes with the juices. I happened to buy purple cauliflower but any kind will work (the book even suggests using frozen).  I covered the pan and let it simmer for about half an hour, until the potatoes were soft, stirring occasionally.


I added some fresh cilantro at the end and we ate it with naan.  The recipe is a keeper and makes for excellent leftovers.
