Butter Chickpea Curry

I'm currently soaking the chickpeas, can't wait to see how this turns out! I am planning to substitute cauliflower for the potatoes and use a can of V8 since that's what I have on hand. Here's hoping!

4 medium potatoes, cubed
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 teaspoons curry powder
2 teaspoons garam masala
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed tomato soup
1/2 cup cream or milk
1 (12 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained


Directions
Place potatoes in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil over high heat; simmer until the potatoes are tender. Drain, and set aside.
Warm oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in onion and garlic, and cook until the onions are soft and translucent. Stir in curry powder, garam masala, ginger, cumin, and salt. Cook for 1 or 2 minutes, stirring. Pour in soup, cream, and chickpeas. Stir in potatoes. Simmer 5 minutes.

Comment after the fact - this turned out well. Not our favorite dish, but not bad.

Catching up

Well, you'd wonder where we've been, as this blog just about died. Busy living life, or something along those lines. We've done lots of grilling, made some tried and true recipes, and also experimented a bit. Unfortunately, I've been horrible at blogging and capturing our favorite recipes. There was one shrimp recipe that was beyond fantastic - I think Shyam, Rohit and I devoured 10 lbs of shrimp in a matter of days! I keep searching my regular recipe sources for it but am still coming up empty. Hopefully we'll find it soon so we can repeat with the summer.

The 2 most recent recipes were so-so. Nothing great, nothing to write home about or get me excited.

Shyam has been seriously dedicated to healthy eating lately, I'm really proud of him.

So, hopefully we'll have a chance to start posting more frequently. That way, next time we say 'honey, where is the recipe for.... it will be obvious!'
