Our Anniversary Dinner Recipe – Indian Dish
This is the meal that we had for our anniversary dinner. It doesn’t take a long time to prepare it and it’s really super easy. If you have been following for some time, than you know that I am experimenting with vegetarian diet. I don’t cook meat at home so Freddy has meat only when we go to restaurant which means that his consumption of meat has decreased significantly as well. I have to say that he hasn’t been complaining about it once, because he really enjoys his veggie burgers and the veggie dishes that I make. So far I have noticed that I feel much lighter and so does Freddy. I am not saying that I will never eat meat again, because never say never, however I am really enjoying this lifestyle experiment.
These are the ingredients that you will need:
1 average size brocolli
1 leek
1 slice of pineapple (about 2 cm high)
3 cloves of garlic
Fresh Ginger – cut 3 small pieces to match the amount of garlic
1 can of Chickpeas
1 large onion
4 tbsp of Olive Oil
Spice:
3 tbsp of Mustard Seeds
1 dried chilli pepper
1 tsp of Ground Cumin
1 tbsp of Corriander Seeds
1 tsp of Turmeric Powder
2 cloves
1 piece of Cinnamon Bark (about 2 cm) or 1 tsp of Ground Cinnamon
2 Bay Leaves
salt
3 tsp of Brown Sugar
2 – 3 tbsp of Lime Juice
Side Dish:
Indian Basmati Rice
Step by step guide:
1) Cut the broccoli and leek in small pieces and set them aside in a bowl. Start boiling water for the rice.
2) Chop the onion, garlic and ginger into smaller parts and grind them in a food processor or a blender.
3) Add cumin, coriander, cloves, chilli pepper, and cinnamon to the blender and make a smoothie.
4) Heat the oil in a bigger pot and fry the mustard seeds until they start getting slightly brown.
5) Mix in the onion smoothie and fry for a little bit longer.
6) Lower the heat and add bay leaves, turmeric, broccoli and leek.
7) Fry the mixture over medium heat until the broccoli is half cooked.
8) Add the chopped pineapple, 1 1/2 cup of water and chickpeas in with the broccoli. Mix it well and cover with a lid. Cook over a low heat until the veggies are cooked.
9) You will have to taste it and adjust the flavour by adding salt, sugar, and/or lime juice.
The whole process shouldn’t take longer than 30 minutes. I hope that you will enjoy this meal and if you come up with an idea how to make this dish even better, please share in the comments below.
I will also appreciate any of your own indian recipes that you have tried, because I really like this type of food very much, but I don’t have much experience with Indian cuisine.
Enjoy your dinner,
Zuzana.
