I’ve just posted a recipe for homemade coconut milk where I’ve announced a delicious curry recipe coming up, so here it is! I love how creamy and tasty this dish turned out to be. And also, it’s dirt cheap. I’ve served this curry over plain cooked rice so the rice can soak up all of the yummy sauce, but feel free to have it on its own. Also, adjust the spicy kick to your own liking by adding more or less chili peppers.

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields 6 servings / 0.58 EUR per serving / 3.47 EUR for all)

2 tbsp sunflower seed oil (0.03 EUR)

1 large onion (0.10 EUR)

6 garlic cloves (0.20 EUR)

2 chili peppers (0.27 EUR)

3 tsp curry powder (0.20 EUR)

1 tsp turmeric (0.07 EUR)

1 tsp ground coriander (0.07 EUR)

1 tsp garlic powder (0.07 EUR)

2 tsp salt (0.01 EUR)

1 tsp freshly ground black pepper (0.07 EUR)

2 parsley roots (0.27 EUR)

4 large carrots (0.40 EUR)

6 red potatoes (0.67 EUR)

3 cups coconut milk (0.33 EUR)

2 cups frozen peas (0.40 EUR)

1 tbsp corn starch (0.04 EUR)

1 cup water (–)

Large handful of fresh parsley (0.27 EUR)

METHOD:

Wash, peel and chop up all of the vegetables. Add the oil to a deep pot, then sauté the onion for a few minutes until slightly translucent. Add in minced garlic, chili peppers, curry powder, turmeric, coriander, garlic powder, salt and black pepper. Stir for a minute so the spices become fragrant before adding in parsley roots, carrots, potatoes and coconut milk. If needed, add in a splash of water so that all of the veggies are submerged, then bring to a boil.

Once your curry reaches a rolling boil, reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes with a lid cracked open. Stir in frozen peas and cook for additional 10 minutes until the peas are done. In a small bowl, whisk corn starch with water until completely dissolved. Stir the dissolved corn starch into the curry to thicken. Finally, stir in fresh parsley and serve the curry either on its own, or over cooked rice.

Pošto sam baš objavila recept za kokosovo mlijeko u kojem sam najavila jako ukusni curry koji imam za podijeliti sa vama, sada donosim i to. Mene je oduševilo kako je ovo jelo ispalo kremasto i fino, a uz to još i prejeftino. Ja sam curry poslužila sa rižom kako bi ona mogla popiti sav taj fini umak, ali slobodno ga možete poslužiti i samog za sebe. Također, ljutoću si podesite po vlastitom ukusu pa prema tome dozirajte i količinu čilija.

SASTOJCI:

(Za 6 porcija / 4,29 kn po porciji / 25,77 kn za sve)

2 žlice suncokretovog ulja (0,20 kn)

1 veliki luk (0,75 kn)

6 češnjeva češnjaka (1,50 kn)

2 čili papričice (2,00 kn)

3 žličice curry praha (1,50 kn)

1 žličica kurkume (0,50 kn)

1 žličica korijandera u prahu (0,50 kn)

1 žličica češnjaka u prahu (0,50 kn)

2 žličice soli (0,02 kn)

1 žličica svježe mljevenog crnog papra (0,50 kn)

2 korijena peršina (2,00 kn)

4 velike mrkve (3,00 kn)

6 crvenih krumpira (5,00 kn)

3 šalice kokosovog mlijeka (2,50 kn)

2 šalice smrznutog graška (3,00 kn)

1 žlica kukuruznog škroba (0,30 kn)

1 šalica vode (–)

Veliki pregršt svježeg peršina (2,00 kn)

PRIPREMA:

Operite, ogulite i narežite svo povrće. U duboki lonac stavite ulje pa par minuta dinstajte luk, dok ne postane staklast. Ubacite sjeckani češnjak, čili, curry, kurkumu, korijander, češnjak u prahu, sol i papar. Promiješaje i kuhajte minutu da začini zamiriše prije nego dodate korijen peršina, mrkve, krumpire i kokosovo mlijeko. Po potrebi dodajte mrvicu vode tako da svo povrće bude potopljeno pa pustite da zavrije.

Kada curry zakipi smanjite vatru i kuhajte 15-tak minuta sa odškrinutim poklopcem. Umiješajte smrznuti grašak te kuhajte još deset minuta dok grašak ne bude gotov. U zdjelici sa vodom rastopite kukuruzni škrob i onda tu smjesu umiješajte u curry da se zgusne. Na kraju kada je sve gotovo umiješajte svježi peršin i poslužite curry preko kuhane riže.
