In library science information gathering is examined - one of the ways of information gathering is by asking your friends. (The question in library school was how to get people to realize that there is a lot of information that a public (or academic or special) library can offer).
But even librarians love to pick other's brains for information and I am not exception! :)
So here's the question:
I have some canned chick peas. I also have curry paste in a jar. I am thinking of mixing these with some sliced boiled potatoes and yogurt. Any suggestions on how this should be cooked? Should I boil the potatoes almost all the way and then add them to the sauce? Should the sauce, potatoes and chick peas simmer in a skillet?
Yogurt added at the end?
If you have suggestions, please let me know. I think I will make this dish later on in the week.
Thanks!
I would start with the potatoes. Do you have onions? chop them up and stir fry them... then add the curry sauce and let them cook until almost done; then add the chick peas and the yogourt. It would be good if you added something green like a bean or a pea. Or chopped spinach.
ReplyDeleteI agree with RW - and really, what's the worst that could happen? You'd never make it again. Not too bad of a worst case scenario.
ReplyDeleteYou could also cook it up and then put it in dumplings made from pie crust like samosas. Those are good for lunches the next day too.
I do have onions and spinach...
ReplyDeleteFurther Question:
Would I boil the potatos first or do I stir fry them raw in slices/pieces? add the onion with the potatoes?
hmmm... I love somosas... I think I will stick to non-somosas this time, but only because I don't want to spend the extra $ on the pie crust... I will keep this in mind!
no. don't boil the potatoes first - if you chop the pieces small they will cook in the sauce. much better.
ReplyDeleteI am probably a little bit late, but I would definitely not boil them. They can have a nice texture if you just cook them right in the skillet. Boiling them might make them mushy. If you have already made this dish, I hope it turned out well!
