I saw the recipe but for some reason didn't say anything :confused:

I like curry and yes, it's good for you. Nice and spicy, wakes up vegetables, and promotes clear sinuses.

I put the powdered stuff in my fish coating and it adds that needed zing :D
Goes good in tomato juice.

Spinach and lentil curry:

Brown an onion, a clove or two of garlic, and one little red chili in oil or butter. Add a teaspoon of curry, one cup dried red lentils, and 3 cups water. Cover and simmer about 20-30 minutes until the water is absorbed and the lentils are falling apart soft.

While the lentils are cooking, chop up one large bunch of spinach. Saute in a little oil or butter until it starts to turn bright green. Set aside.

When the lentils are done, add the spinach and salt and pepper to taste.

Eat with rice.

:D

this is a little redundant, but I made cous cous over a year ago & I cant remember if we used curry or cumin or something totally different. Can cous cous made w/ curry?

ok...well i don't have a recipe for you, but i bought some couscous at a restaurant last week. It was named "Morroccan Curried Couscous". Being a curry lover i isolated the ingredients to these:
Couscous, cumin powder, mild curry powder, onions, garlic, carrots,green pepper and raisins. The dish was topped with plain yogurt.
If i find a recipe i will gladly post it for you:)

I have to confess a weakness for curry that uses coconut milk as a base...I know, so bad for me but it adds SUCH a nice, mellow flavor....

I tend to "wing" it making curries...mostly I saute some curry powder, cayenne pepper, and the veggies I want to use...typically onions, mushrooms, stuff like that. Then I add a couple tablespoons of flour to help it thicken up and I add about half a can of coconut milk...

I like this over rice..... YUM! :D

Coconut milk is awesome in curries. In my spinach lentil curry recipe above, leave out the spinach and add a half can of coconut milk at the end. Also, to spark it up a little, saute a shallot, a pinch of red pepper flakes, a teaspoon of mustard seed, and a bay leaf for a few minutes and add at the end to the lentils. Yum!

....ya coconut milk curries are fantastic!
I usually fry up some tofu and add that to treehugger's wing-it recipe with some peppers, fresh cilantro and tomato paste to thicken it up:)
...mmm...so good!
