my bomb ass curry recipe

last night, at scott and b(r)ookis’ house i made some curry from a box mix. it was alright, but just alright. so i tried to salvage it by adding in some of my awesome. but it was still… meh. so today gary and i came back to my house after running some errands to eat. and i decided to redeem yellow curry in my mind, so i made some myself. this is how i did it.

now for the record when i say ‘recipe’, i’m using it very loosely. i prefer to just “wing it” in the kitchen. throwing caution (and recipe books) to the wind. some would say that i have not lost my winging privileges. so with that said, here it is:

• block of tofu cut up into cubes. 1 inch square-ish.
• put that in a little oil in a skillet or wok on medium to high heat.
• while that’s going, start getting out the next batch of ingredients:

• milk, soy or coconut
• veggies (corn, potatoes, bell peppers, onions, whatever)
• spices: curry powder, tumeric, spike, onion powder (or minced), garlic powder
• peanut butter, i prefer creamy for this, but crunchy would work too. the natural stuff is better than that shit, JIF, or whatever
• whatever else you want in it
• braggs or soy sauce

oh yeh! if you want rice with this, start that first, b/c it takes a while

so then you add in some of your milk almost submerging the tofu. don’t worry if it looks a little then. it’ll thicken up and cook down.

go ahead and add your veggies now (remember potatoes will take the longest, so account for that)

then add in your spices to flavour (tumeric is mainly used to make it yellow). but that’s the way spices work. it’s not a science, it’s an art. do it a little at a time tasting after each go round. remember you can always add more, but you can’t take away.

then when you get the flavour you want (you are actually getting the flavour that you THINK you want).

now let it simmer and cook down for a few minutes, pushing it around a little so it doesn’t stick too much to the bottom of the pan.

after simmering for awhile all that flavour that you decided on earlier will have been condensed down. it will pack more of a punch.

and that’s that.

shane’s bomb ass yellow curry with tofu.

but you can claim it as your own and call it : < yournamehere’s > super duper awesomeness curry type stuff.

or whatever.

enjoy…
