NATIONAL VEGETARIAN WEEK - curry + salad

it's national vegetarian week continues! it was the first truly beautiful day we've had here in the UK since last summer! from a winter coat yesterday to lying out in the park in a wee dress today - such a fickle island I live on!

but anyways, back to the food. this evening I made a clear out the veg drawer vegetable curry. I ended up with a lovely gingery-courgette/potato/tomato curry, some rice, and a refreshing ginger-mint-cucumber salad.



so I got to work on my curry, mixing some onions, courgette, par-boiled potatoes and tinned tomatoes in a pot with garlic, ginger, chili and some spices. that simmered away and while it cooked I made up some basmati rice with pepper and coriander seeds and a cucumber salad with mint, ginger and cumin and coriander. I topped the curry with some raisins when it was done and ta-da! it was delicious! very refreshing on a lovely warm day like today!
