Indian food in undeniably delicious. My go-to spices are usually curry powder, cumin, coriander, and turmeric. I don’t know if these are authentically Indian, but they make things taste delightful! I’ve recently started adding garam masala to the spice mix.
So this week I decided to make a dish with our most abundant vegetable –squash! I paired it with kale and potatoes, and my favorite spices, for a glorious curry dish. Like a lot of the food we make around here, we mostly winged it (wung it?) without a recipe. So feel free to make additions, subtractions, and substitutions at your whim.
Summer Curry
- 1-2 summer squash/zucchini, in bite size pieces
- kale, ripped up with stems removed
- potatoes, quartered
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 Tbsp turmeric
- 1 tsp coriander
- 2 tsp garam masala
- 2 tsp curry powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- extra virgin olive oil (for frying)
- water/veggie broth
1. Fry potatoes in the spices and olive oil for about 5 minutes. I used a wok; you could also use a pot or a frying pan.
2. Throw in summer squash and fry until potatoes and squash are cooked through. Add spices for taste if necessary.
3. Add water/veggie broth to distribute spices from the bottom of the pan amongst the entire dish.
4. Add kale at the last minute and stir in. Wait for the kale to wilt then remove from heat.
5. Enjoy!
