recipe please. i have a glut.
Got this from http://aroundbritainwithapaunch.blogspot.com/2010/...It is a rood recipe - I have another at home which I will post too
Ingredients:
10 beetroot
10 small potatoes <b>(I use a tin of chick peas)</b>
1 bag of fresh spinach (or can be frozen)
1 can of coconut milk
6 finely chopped tomatoes <b>(Use a tin of chopped)</b>
2 onions
2 cloves of garlic
Chicken/vegetable stock
2 thumbs of ginger
1 dessert spoon of cumin seeds
1 desert spoon of fennel seeds
1 dessert spoon of mustard seeds
1 desert spoon of coriander seeds
10 cardamom pods
5 star anise
2 desert spoons of garam masala
6 dried chillies
Vegetable oil
Coriander leaves
Salt
Method:
Roast all the spices (apart from the garam masala and cardamom) until they are aromatic but not burnt. Then pound to a dust in a pestle and mortar.
Sauté the onion until soft then add the chopped garlic and cook for a few minutes. Then add the grated ginger and breath deeply. A few minutes later throw in all the spices including the garam masala. Allow to mingle and cook whilst you heat your stock up.
Pour in the hot stock and then add the chopped and peeled beetroot along with the dried chillies and cardamom. You want the liquid to be covering the beetroot.
Allow this to bubble away for about an hour with the lid on – until the beetroot begin to become tender. Then add the chick peas, the can of coconut milk and tomatoes.
Taste for spice levels and seasoning and adjust accordingly with some chopped fresh chillies. At the last minute, stir through some spinach. Sprinkle with chopped coriander and serve.
