Easy Curried Veggies recipe


Sometimes I'm in the mood for something a little different than boring old steamed veggies.
Like today, I had been craving Indian food, but didn't want to spend the money to eat out, so
I took a basic recipe I had for Potato Masala and made a bunch of changes to make it my own.
This recipe is totally easy to make, I promise you cannot mess this up.

Ingredients:
1 lb cauliflower- cut into florets
8 oz potato- cubed
2 T olive oil
2 cloves garlic- minced
1/8 t ground ginger
1 t salt
1 14oz can diced tomatoes with liquid
2 t Curry powder (or more if you'd like but don't over do it)

Directions:
Heat oil in large pan on medium heat. Add garlic, ginger & salt.
Stir about 30 seconds (don't you burn that garlic, you hear me?!)
Add tomatoes, cook for about 1 minute.
Add Curry powder.
Add potatoes & cauliflower.
Stir so everything is incorporated well.
Bring to boiling, then reduce heat to low.
Simmer, covered for about 30 mins. or when veggies are tender (but not mushy!)

You could add tofu or chickpeas to make it more of a complete meal if you'd like, or prepare it as an accompaniment to your main course, or just do what I did & eat it the way it is.
Yummy!
