burmese curry

(from Joanna’s recipe box)

adapted from vegetarian times to be main course for 8th day pesach meal) This recipe originally only had potatoes. And half the proportions for the curry ingredients, I have doubled the curry ingredients and figure we’ll add a head of cauliflower and 4 tomatoes. But if you’d like to do it differently we could do it differently.

Ingredients

  • 2 large onions
  • 2 TBS minced garlic
  • 2 TBS minced fresh ginger
  • 2 tsp turmeric (we will go without)
  • 2 tsp red chili powder – we will replace with 1 fresh chili pepper
  • 1 cup vegetable oil (Burmese curries can be pretty oily, I can cut down on this…)
  • 2 TBS sesame oil (will we have peanut oil? It would be a good substitute)
  • 4 med or 3 large potatoes pealed and cut into large chunks
  • salt to taste
  • fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
  • 1 head cauliflower choped
  • 4 tomatoes chopped in big pieces
