I didn't take any photos, but yesterday I was serious craving a large plate of veggies with some spice so I threw together this curry recipe, which was mostly made up and didn't use too many exact measurements:
Ingredients:
Canola Oil
Seaseme Oil
A couple cloves of garlic
2 inch piece of fresh ginger
cumin
cinnamon
nutmeg
cumin
cardomom pods
cayenne
coriander
curry powder
salt
pepper
1 red pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 onion, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 head of broccoli, cut into florets
1 small package of hard tofu, drained and sliced into 1 inch pieces
some water
small can of coconut milk
fresh basil
Heat the oils (just a little of the sesame) on a low heat in a saute pan or a wok and then add the garlic and ginger.
Saute for a few minutes and then add the spices (to taste- i used about 1/2-1 teaspoon of each, except for the cayenne which i used a bit less of- that stuff is potent), mixing them into the oils and heating the paste for about a minute.
Throw in all of the veggies and tofu.
Toss everything together so the veggies are coated with the spice mix and pour in a little water- just enough so nothing burns.
Continue adding a bit of water and sauteing until the veggies are slightly tender, then add the coconut milk and basil and mix everything well.
Once the coconut milk is incorporated, pour the curry over rice and enjoy.
The best part of cooking this is how delicious it smells. It also looks beautiful with the yellow curry, red pepper, and green broccoli. Leftovers for lunch tomorrow!
