1 - This was good! Had it with the butter chickpea curry and rice. For the first part I ended up just mixing together in a little bowl almond meal, ginger, chilli flakes and spices with the water. But that worked, without the fussiness of blendering it.
2 Tbsps. flour (or almond meal)
1” piece of fresh ginger root, skin scraped off and grated
2-3 hot green chiles, seeded and chopped
1+2 Tbsps. cilantro, washed and chopped, in all
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground cloves
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
1/3 cup water
¼ cup veg oil
½ tsp caraway seed
1 tsp cumin seed
¼ tsp asafeotida powder
1 lb potato, peeled and cut into ¼ inch dice
½ lb daikon, peeled and shredded
1 tsp ground turmeric
2 tsps. ground coriander
1 tsp salt
2 tsps. lemon juice
- Combine flour, ginger, green chile, 1 tablespoon cilantro, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg with the water. Puree in a blender until it becomes a smooth paste.
- Heat canola oil in a heavy pan over high heat until almost smoking. Add in the caraway and cumin seed and stir fry, stirring constantly, until they begin to brown, about 20 seconds.
- Add in the asafoetida resin, stir fry for a few seconds, and then add in diced potatoes. Sir fry for 2-3 minutes.
- Add in the shredded radish and the herb paste. Stir fry for another 3-4 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium-high and add in the ground turmeric and coriander.
- Continue stir-frying until the potatoes are tender. Add in a few tablespoons of water at a time when the spices begin to stick to the bottom of the pan.
- Remove from heat and mix in the remaining chopped cilantro and lemon juice.
I'll try this. I don't have caraway seeds!!!
