March 11, 2019


The Lab Cookbook has around lovely, homely comfort foods inward it! This 1 comes from Libby - she shares alongside us an enthusiasm for Ottolenghi in addition to McKinnon recipes, in addition to reached farther dorsum inward fourth dimension to give us a favourite Kurma Dasa recipe. We're Kurma fans too, but nosotros stimulate got a unlike mass to Libby in addition to so this one's novel to us.

It's a elementary mixture of chickpeas in addition to cauliflower alongside warm (but non hot) spices in addition to a decent serving of ghee. It motivated me to stimulate got those extra steps inward a dyad of spots: soaking dried chickpeas overnight instead of simply grabbing around cans, pulling the seeds out of cardamom pods, in addition to grinding upward a whole cinnamon stick. Contrary to the Kurma Dasa way, I skipped over the asafetida pulverization in addition to served my curry alongside a garlic chappati on the side.

I accidentally forgot to add together the turmeric, so whatsoever futurity renditions of this repast volition likely await a lot to a greater extent than golden. This is the rare warming dinner that I reckon I'd similar simply every bit good served at room temperature - I'll last keeping it inward heed for futurity potlucks.
