Around the World in 12 dishes – India

June 3, 2012 by admin 18 Comments

This month our tour around the world takes us to India.

My husband and I love Indian food and do make it for the children sometimes too, although we tend to keep theirs a little less spicy.

This is a very simple dish that we have adapted through the years to fit our tastes.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp sunflower oil
  • 2 tsp mild curry paste
  • 3 turkey breasts, chopped into pieces
  • 2  sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 6 tablespoons split red lentils ( rinsed )
  • 200ml chicken stock
  • 400ml can coconut milk
  • a couple of handfuls of frozen peas
  • two handfuls of washed spinach (optional )

 

Method

  • Fry the turkey in the hot oil, until browned.
  • Add the curry paste, and keep cooking for 2 minutes.
  • Add the sweet potatoes and lentils and stir.
  • Pour in the stock and coconut milk.
  • Bring to the boil and then simmer for 25 minutes or until the sweet potato is soft.
  • Add the peas and spinach 5 minutes before serving.
All three kids liked it a lot, although S and H are not big fans of sweet potato. I always add it anyway just in case they suddenly decide they like it.

If you’d like to join in with our around the world tour, Glittering Muffins has all the details, and you can join in with the link up as well.

    One of most favorite road side foods when we visit India is sweet potatoes diced up with chat masalam salt and lemon juice sprinkled on it. Need to start adding coconut milk to come of my things, sound yummy and southern indian inspired

    This sounds so delicious!! I wish my husband would eat curry. Any time he tries it and doesn’t know it has curry in it he likes it but as soon as he finds out there is curry in something he won’t eat it anymore. It drives me crazy!!

    Anyway, I would love to try it but I know it won’t be eaten by him. Thank you for sharing at Sharing Saturday!!
