I COULD MURDER A CURRY... Well, at least commit a certain amount of violence on one.

In other words, I wanted something curry-ish the other day without taking much trouble over it, so I threw this together from what was in the cupboard, fridge and freezer.

(There was rather less than I expected. That's been fixed.)

When I discovered we had no lamb or chicken it ended up as unintended vegetarian, and can as easily become vegan; just leave out the ghee. If my result is anything to go by, all variations will taste great.

NB #1, there's no salt; the preserved lemon has plenty.

NB #2, metric measurements are correct, Imperial are approximate, but this whole recipe was pretty vague from start to finish, so wing it.

That's what I did. For instance, preserved lemon is Moroccan not Indian, yet it worked just fine.

Lemon and lime lentil curry

Ingredients

1 tablespoon ghee or coconut oil (I used a 50-50 combination)

2 onions peeled and chopped fine

2 tablespoon hot curry powder

1 tablespoon mild curry powder (or 1 hot / 2 mild if preferred)

6 cloves of garlic peeled and chopped fine

2 400g / 14oz tins chopped tomatoes in juice

1 400g / 14oz tin kidney beans, drained and rinsed

250 g / 1 cup red lentils

250 g / 1 cup each of red, green, and yellow peppers, sliced and coarsely chopped (optional; we had them in the freezer)

2 heaped tablespoons lime pickle, chopped fine (hot or mild as preferred; Patak brand is good. I used home-made hot)

2 heaped tablespoons preserved lemon, chopped fine (again, I used home-made) *

1 tablespoon garam masala

* If you can't source preserved lemons, use the zest and juice of at least one fresh lemon (two might be better). If you've only got bottled lemon juice, add 125ml / 1/2 cup of it when the tomatoes go in.

Method

Heat your preferred cooking fat in a pan (a wok is even better), add the chopped onions, and cook until soft and translucent. If desired, cook until starting to brown (this may take up to 45 minutes).

Push the onions to one side, allow the fat to flow into the centre of the pan, add the dry spices, combine well with the fat and cook for about five minutes.

Add the garlic and cook for a further five minutes.

Add the kidney beans and lentils to this mixture, stir well, add the peppers, lime pickle and preserved lemon, and stir again.

Add the chopped tomatoes, and one tomato-tin full of water. (Also add the lemon juice (and zest), if that's what you're using instead of preserved lemons.)

Stir well, turn the heat right down, cover, and simmer for about 30 to 45 minutes. (This is where I'd have added 2 cubed chicken breasts, if I'd had them).

Check occasionally to ensure nothing is sticking, adding a little water if required. Taste during this process, and adjust the seasoning. (Which means, if you're using fresh lemon or bottled lemon juice, this is when to add some salt.)

When the lentils are done (I like them a little al dente), sprinkle on 1 tablespoon garam masala, stir it in then serve.

Accompany with Basmati rice, or chapatis (flour tortillas / wraps will do just fine), or naan bread, or any combination of these. I did a mix of 1/3 brown Basmati / 2/3 white Basmati.

@dduane pointed out that what with the carbs, protein, dietary fibre etc., this is also quite healthy. That's an unexpected bonus for something I just thought was no trouble to make, tasted good...

And didn't involve committing even a minor felony, though a slice of apple tort to follow would have been nice... :->

Hey you!

It’s fall and you’re probably thinking “damn I wanna make a hearty stew but I don’t have a recipe in mind maybe a cute girl could give me her recipe for beef stew and show hole while doing so?” Well I’m not showing hole for free but I do have a pretty damn good stew recipe that’ll make your holes quiver more than a chilly lot lizard at a truck stop Arby’s.

In some seriousness I made this a couple weeks ago, came a little eating it and I want to spread that seed of joy as much as I can this Mariah Carey season.

———

Alright so here is a list of ingredients in very rough measurements

1 pound stew beef (could also be any fairly lean and cheap cuts of beef) cubed

1 cup of carrots chopped or whole baby carrots

One medium onion chopped (any variety is fine but I used yellow onions)

1 pound of red potatoes quartered (you can add another half pound if you love potatoes a Samwise Gamgee amount)

2 32 oz cartons of unsalted or lightly salted beef stock (+ maybe one smaller carton or jar of beef bone broth to add a bit more flavor or top off the pot if the stock doesn’t cover the ingredients fully)

Some all purpose flour like maybe a quarter cup if that

Finally some red wine vinegar

That’s it for the bulk items, you can add or subtract anything you want with something more your taste like celery instead of carrots or russet potatoes instead of reds. The world is your stew so get wet and have fun with it.

The spices are the key to this dish since it brings out a lot of the subtle flavors of each component

2 tsp Thyme

2 tsp Rosemary

1 tsp Tarragon

1/2 tsp red chili flake

1 tsp parsley

2 bay leaves

2 tsp black pepper and salt

Garlic (if using fresh garlic 2 cloves to start and if you want add another clove if using pre minced Jarlic use about 2 heaping tsps)

And finally the crucial ingredient. 1 and 1/2 tbsps Garam Masala. I used a pre made mix and this what it looks like and what spices it has exactly

If you can’t find this then get as many of this spices as you can and mix them together using the ratio of 2 tsp coriander, cardamom, cinnamon, and cumin, 1 and 1/2 tsps of black pepper and celery seed, then 1/2 tsp anise, allspice, clove, and salt, you can leave out the salt and pepper and just add a little bit more later on.

———

Ok now that we have ingredients let’s slap this bitch together

On medium high heat with a tbsp of oil or butter brown the meat off in a large stock pot, you don’t want to cook it through just getting some color on all sides, if it starts to smell like burning turn the heat down a little and add more oil, if you add too much it could get watery and not brown the meat effectively. If that happens just drain as much of the liquid as you can into a separate container, just before you take it off the heat and it’s almost all browned then add a teaspoon and a half of garam masala and then keeping browning until it’s a good color then set aside

Next in the same pot add your chopped onions with a little butter or oil and cook til translucent and aromatic, then add another teaspoon and a half of garam masala along with the red chili flake and garlic to wake up those flavors in direct heat then turn the heat down to med low and add your flour, go slow with this little by little, we’re not making a roux or anything just trying to cook off the raw flour taste to help thicken the stew a little down the line, you don’t have to add all of the amount listed just enough until it start to thicken and coat the onions

Next add your beef back in and stir a little bit coating the beef in the onion and flour mixture and then add a couple splashes of red wine vinegar just enough to lift the flour off of the bottom of the pot, make sure to scrape all the onion and beef bits at the bottom of the pot off with a spoon or spatula before moving on from this step.

Next add your stock and other vegetables along with all the spices including the last 1 and 1/2 tsps of garam masala. The stock liquid should cover all the ingredients but if not, add in your reserved bone broth or rest of the beef stock if you used bone broth earlier.

Let it simmer on medium low heat for about 1 hour, though you can leave this on the stove for longer if you want the flavor a bit more concentrated but no more than 3 hours.

And there we go! Serve by itself or over mashed potatoes, and make sure to take out the bay leaves! You can’t eat them. Also if you want it a little thicker just add some cornstarch and water to a small measuring glass stir to combine then pour stirring it well into the stew though keep in mind once you add the cornstarch slurry you cannot keep it on the heat for more then 5 more minutes. Any longer and the cornstarch will turn more gummy and nobody wants that.

———

Anyways here’s the only picture I took of the stew it may or may not be that flattering depending on how hungry you are.

Pictured is also a pot of garlic and sage mashed potatoes, I don’t have the energy to write that recipe down but if I get enough requests for it I’ll add it here.

Most importantly just have fun with it, if you want more hot spice throw it in, if you want more salty umami flavors add mushrooms or dark soy sauce, do whatever you want this stew is yours to customize as you please.

Anywho I hope you all enjoy my slutty slutty stew >:3

#food #this is the first time I’ve ever wrote down one of my recipes so please be kind 🥺#also if you make it please let me know how you like it!!#I really hope this reaches the cozy bitch market I’m aiming for #text post

Instructions

Prep the Tofu: Drain and press the tofu for at least 15 minutes. Cut into 1-inch cubes.

Cook the Rice

Rinse rice thoroughly. Combine rice, coconut milk, water, and salt in a medium saucepan.

Assemble the Tikka Masala:

Add the cooked tofu to the simmering sauce.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

[ID: A large, shallow bowl filled with a bright yellow curd and golden brown pakora garnished with cilantro. A small bowl of jeera rice with green cardamom, cinnamon, bay leaf, and cilantro sits to the right. End ID.]

Vegan Punjabi kadhi pakora / ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਕੜ੍ਹੀ ਪਕੌੜਾ

Kadhi is a comfort food popular in north and central India and southeast Pakistan. The base of the dish is spiced curd or buttermilk, to which chickpea flour, vegetable fritters, and spiced tadkas (temperings) are sometimes added. Unlike the sweeter, thinner, and unadorned variations to the south, Punjabi kadhi is slowly reduced to a thick, creamy consistency and studded with onion pakoras.

Recipe under the cut!

Patreon | Tip jar

For the pyaaz ke pakore (onion fritters):

1 cup besan (chickpea flour)

2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced

1/2 tsp table salt

1/2 tsp mirchi (ground red chilis)

1/2 tsp ajwain (carom seeds)

A couple cups of a neutral oil, for frying

For the curd:

1 cup (220g) unflavored vegan yoghurt

1/2 cup (60g) besan

1/2 tsp amchur (dried mango powder; optional)

4 cups water

In Punjab, kadhi is often made with full-fat buttermilk, and sometimes with yoghurt. Vegan yoghurt (I used oat) will provide a similarly smooth, fatty, slightly sour base.

Adding less water to the curd mixture will allow it to cook down faster if you’re short on time; but a long, slow simmer is more typical with this dish.

For the kadhi:

2 Tbsp neutral oil

Pinch hing (asafoetida)

1 medium yellow onion, chopped

2-inch piece (20g) ginger, minced

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 green chilis, chopped

2 tsp cumin seeds (jeera)

1/4 tsp fenugreek seeds (methi)

1 tsp ground coriander

1/2 tsp mirchi (ground red chilis)

1/2 tsp ground turmeric

1/2 tsp garam masala

3/4 tsp table salt, or to taste

Mustard oil is typical, but any neutral oil (sunflower, canola, vegetable) will work.

For the tadka (optional):

1 Tbsp non-dairy margarine

1 tsp cumin seeds

1 dried red chili

1/2 tsp mirchi

Instructions:

1. Start the pakore. Cut onions in half through the root and lay cut-side down. Slice thinly vertically (perpendicular to the root) and then cut the root off. Whisk together other pakora ingredients (except for the oil) in a large bowl; add the onions and toss well to combine. Cover and set aside for 30 minutes to allow onions to release moisture.

2. Make the curd mixture. Whisk yoghurt and besan together in a large bowl. Add amchur (or substitute apple cider vinegar) if the yoghurt you are using is not particularly sour, to taste. Add water and whisk until a smooth mixture forms. Set aside.

3. Make the kadhi. Heat 2 Tbsp of a neutral oil in a large pot on medium-high. Fry fenugreek and cumin seeds for a few minutes until they are fragrant and popping into the air.

4. Add hing and cook for 30 seconds. Add onion, chili, and salt and saute for 3-4 minutes, until onion is translucent.

5. Add ginger and garlic and sauté for 30 seconds to a minute, until no longer raw-smelling. Add coriander, mirchi, and turmeric and sauté another 30 seconds.

6. Add the curd mixture and stir to combine. Allow to come to a boil, then lower the heat to low and allow it to cook, stirring occasionally, for 30-45 minutes, until thickened.

7. Meanwhile, finish the pakore. Stir the onion slices to distribute any moisture they may have released. Add just enough water to hydrate all the besan and allow the pakoras to hold together.

8. Heat about an inch of neutral oil on medium in a large pan. Once hot, drop small handfuls of pakora mixture into the oil. Fry, flipping once, until golden brown on both sides. Remove onto a paper-towel-lined plate or wire rack.

9. Add pakoras to the kadhi, along with garam masala, and allow to simmer for another 5-10 minutes until kadhi is very thick and creamy. Remove into a serving dish.

10. Make the tadka. Heat margarine in a small skillet until sizzling. Add cumin seeds, chili pepper, and mirchi and heat until fragrant. Pour the oil, seeds, and chili over the finished kadhi and serve immediately.

Serve with roti, paratha, rice, or jeera rice.

Butter Paneer

because the idea of people not feeding people makes me sad, apparently

Specialized equipment: a rewarding blender

For the marinade: 28 oz (800g) paneer/other protein in bite-sized pieces 1/2 cup plain yogurt 1 1/2 tablespoons (3 big cloves) minced garlic 1 tablespoon minced ginger (or finely grated) 2 teaspoons garam masala 1 teaspoon turmeric 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon red chili powder 1 teaspoon of salt

For the sauce: 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons ghee (or 1 tbs butter + 1 tbs oil) (let's be real I just whack some butter in the pan to keep stuff from sticking) 1 large onion, sliced or chopped

1 1/2 tablespoons garlic, minced 1 tablespoon ginger, minced or finely grated

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin 1 1/2 teaspoons garam masala 1 teaspoon ground coriander

14 oz (400 g) crushed tomatoes (2 medium tomatoes, +3 to add after for sharper tomato flavor) (26 oz) (you can reverse this ratio if you prefer a more cooked/caramelized flavor) 1 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to your taste preference) 1 1/4 teaspoons salt (or to taste) 2 birds-eye chili peppers + cayenne, black pepper (or however you like to add spice to things; the black pepper makes a big difference)

1 cup of heavy or thickened cream (or evaporated milk to save calories) (or regular milk if that's what you have around) 1 tablespoon sugar 1/2 teaspoon kasoori methi (or dried fenugreek leaves)

Marinade the protein in its ingredients. If it’s a meat, brown the sides, then set aside and keep warm.

Heat butter in the same pan. Fry the onions until they start to sweat (about 6 minutes); add garlic and ginger and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, then add ground coriander, cumin and garam masala. Let cook for about 20 seconds until fragrant, while stirring occasionally.

Add crushed tomatoes, chili powder and salt. Let simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until sauce thickens and becomes a deep brown red colour.

Remove from heat, add extra tomato, and scoop mixture into a blender. Blend until smooth (longer than you think), adding water if needed to help it blend and not overloading the blender. (You will not need water if you use the amount of tomatoes I have crammed into this recipe. You may wish to drain the mixture a bit before returning it to the pan.)

Return sauce to pan. Stir in cream, sugar, and crushed kasoori methi through the sauce. Add the protein and its sauce/juices and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes until protein is cooked through and the sauce is thick and bubbling.

Vegan, gluten-free sufganiyot (jelly donuts)

I don't normally (i.e. never) post food recipes, but I'm really proud of this one. As someone who has a lot of dietary restrictions, including some niche ones, I sometimes struggle to get into the holiday spirit. The foods I grew up eating now cause me a lot of physical pain and I feel that separation acutely this time of year. I imagine I'm not the only one.

One food I really miss is the sufganiyot, a.k.a. jelly donuts, that are traditionally eaten during Chanukkah.

So for all of you gluten free and/or vegans people out there, here is a recipe for you! They're not lookers, but they taste great.

Wet ingredients:

1 tbs Active Dry Year

1/2 tbs sugar

2 tbs Olive Oil

1 cup warm water

4 tbs aquafaba (the water from a can of chickpeas)

1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Dry ingredients:

3 cups of gluten free flour (I used Bob Red Mill's All Purpose Baking Flour)

1/2 cup of gluten free flour if needed

1/2 cup of powdered sugar

3/4 tsp salt

2 tsp garam masala (optional)

Others:

~1 cup powdered sugar for dusting donuts

~1/2 cup of strawberry jam

Neutral oil for frying. I used canola. The amount will vary depending on the size of your cooking containers, just make sure you have enough oil so the sufganiyot can float off the bottom of the pan.

Instructions:

Mix all of the wet ingredients except vanilla extract, if using (I've always forgotten and put mine in before combining wet and dry mixes, so I don't know what it would do if added at the same time).

Leave standing for 10 minutes or until foaming.

Mix all of the dry ingredients together EXCEPT 1/2 a cup of flour (sifted if possible, if not mix together with a whisk to get rid of clumps).

Once the yeast mixture has foamed, mix in the vanilla extract and then slowly combine with the dry ingredients. It should form a thick batter.

If the batter is too thin, add in flour as needed.

Cover the mixture with a damp, warm towel. Leave to rise for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.

Frying:

In past recipes, I've read to heat the oil up until it is 325 degrees. I don't own a thermometer, so I just heat it up on medium/high heat until a small drop of dough can fry in around 30 seconds.

The dough it going to be very sticky and hard to form. Using two spoons, scoop dollops of dough into the oil. Fry for a few minutes on each side, until the dough turns in to a light brown on one side. Then flip and fry the other side until that is also a light brown.

Once the dough is done, remove from the fryer and place into a bowl with some powdered sugar on the bottom. Using a spoon, coat the entire donut in powdered sugar. Squeeze in the jam while he it is still hot.

Best if served hot, or within a few hours of being made.
