I don't know if this is Thai or Indian, but it mostly reminds me of the Vegetable Green Curry that I get at the Thai restaurant. It doesn't have some of the traditional Thai ingredients though, because I don't usually have those, so I guess it is kind of a mutant. X-Curry!
INGREDIENTS:
2 T oil
1T turmeric
1T cumin
1/2 t chili flakes
1t garam masala
1 cinnamon stick
1 pinch saffron threads (only if you have some you need to use up)
1T salt
2T curry powder
2 chopped onions
1 head of romanesca (or cauliflower, or a couple stalks of broccoli would do)
3 carrots in chunks (I never peel my carrots if they are organic)
One 14 oz can diced tomatoes
One 14 oz can lite coconut milk
4 or 5 T granulated sugar
4 Dorot cilantro cubes (or fresh cilantro if you have it)
Chili sauce or Sriracha for garnish
Cooked brown rice for serving
INSTRUCTIONS:
Put oil in a large pan and add onions, all the spices, and the cinnamon stick. Cook the spices for a minute and then add the carrots, romanesco, and tomatoes.
Let simmer while your rice cooks... about 30 minutes... until vegetables are tender.
Turn off heat, add coconut milk, sugar, and cilantro. Stir to mix and let sit for a few minutes to meld.
Serve over brown rice with chili sauce or Sriracha
