VEGAN DINNER IDEA! Coconut Milk Curry Sauce, Steamed Vegetables, Quinoa & Flat Bread ::OR:: What I Made For Dinner Tonight

Coconut Curry Sauce



1 cup coconut milk (i used canned. For shame)
2 cups vege broth (made this myself. Redeemed!)
1 tsp salt
2 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp asafoetida powder (hing)
1 tsp paprika for color, mostly
1 tsp each onion and garlic powder
1/4 tsp vanilla
2 tbs cornstarch

Mix together all but the cornstarch in a saucepan over low heat. Heat gently, stir with a wisk. When it starts to steam, scoop out about a cup of liquid and mix the corstarch into the cup of liquid. Stir well and then wisk the mixture into the rest of the sauce. Stir and continue to heat until sauce thickens. Remove from heat.

Steamed Vegetable Main Dish

cauliflower
celery
carrot
potato
onion
whole garlic cloves
red bell pepper

I sprinkled a bit of curry powder on the veges and steamed them over low heat until tender.

The flat bread is just tortillas, but i made them extra thick. Instead of 8 tortillas, this recipe makes 4 flat breads.

Flat Bread

1.5 cups flour, I used half wheat, half white flours
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbs olive oil
1/2 plus 1/8 cup water

knead with hands until thouroughly mixed. Separate into 4 balls. Roll out on a floured board, with a floured pin and cook on a griddle or large skillet untill brown spots appear, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook 3 more mins. Careful not to cook them too long or they will get crispy. You want them pliable. Wrap them in a towel to keep warm and moist and serve asap.

Steamed Quinoa

2 cups vege broth
1/2 cup white quinoa
1/4 cup each black and red quinoa
bring to a boil, reduce heat and cover. Let cook for 20 min and remove from heat. Stir and serve.

A relatively quick dinner, this took me about 2 hours to make.

my plate has raw veges instead of steamed and a sprig of fresh mint for garnish
