I was recently at a local vegan meet up where one of the couples brought some really good Chana Masala they had made. I started talking with one of the other ladies there about how I love Indian food, but never feel like I really do it justice when I try and make it at home. It's usually edible, but nowhere near restaurant quality. It's usually not even what I would call really good. She commented that she has had success at home, and told me maybe I should give it another try with a different recipe, so that's what I did. I searched the web and decided on Vegan Belle's Vegetable Korma.
I'm so glad I decided to try cooking Indian food at home again because this was delicious. My husband (apparently not noticing the dishes and pans ?), asked where I got it from. Rather than be offended, I took it as a compliment, it was restaurant quality. :)
I didn't have any cauliflower, so I used frozen broccoli. I also added some golden raisins. Other than that I followed her recipe exactly. I will say, while she states that it's mild, mine seemed a little spicy. Luckily, we love spicy food! I know the cayenne pepper I use is a little wicked, and it's always possible I grabbed the hot curry powder instead of regular sweet curry powder. :) This made quite a bit, so I even got to freeze myself a helping for later. I served it with naan bread and tamarind chutney. Yum!
Looks great! We'll have to try that recipe. Love making Indian at home.
