Thai Style Vegetable Curry

Ingredients

  • 1 - 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 - 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 1 - 1 1/2 cups onion, diced
  • 1 cup carrots, diced
  • 1 cup bell peppers, diced (combine 2 colors; red, yellow, green, or orange)
  • 4 - 5 cups zucchini, diced
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 cup dry-roasted peanuts (divided: 3/4 and 1/4 cup)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 - 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • 1/2 - 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup garbanzo beans, canned (rinsed and drained)
  • 1 cup peas, frozen
  • Water if desired to thin curry mixture (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash and dice vegetables.
  2. Heat large pot over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
  3. After the oil is hot, add the garlic and onions. Reduce the heat to medium and sauté for a couple minutes until the onions are soft (about 1 or 2 minutes).
  4. Add the carrots and peppers and stir. Reduce the heat to medium - low and cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Stir frequently.
  5. Next add the zucchini. Stir, reduce the heat to medium - low and cover the pan. Simmer about 5 minutes.
  6. While the vegetables are simmering, blend 3/4 cup peanuts, tomato sauce, soy sauce, curry powder and salt in a blender until smooth.
  7. Add blended curry mixture to the cooked vegetables and stir thoroughly.
  8. Add the garbanzo beans and peas to the cooked vegetables and stir. Stir in a little water (as desired) if you would like a thinner curry mixture.
  9. Cook curry mixture until it is hot throughout. Taste and add more salt and/or curry powder if desired.
  10. Serve curry over rice and top with peanuts.

Notes

You can vary the amount of diced vegetables in this recipe to your taste or to what you have on hand.

Adjust the garlic, curry powder and salt to taste.

You may also serve this curry over couscous or quinoa.

I usually serve the extra peanuts in a dish and let each person add their desired amount to the top of their curry.

You can add a little water near the end of the cooking time if you desire a thinner curry mixture. I sometimes add about 1/4 cup of water after I add the peas if I think the curry mixture is too thick.

    I am definitely going to make this but like you said I will use green and yellow zucchini and instead of peanuts I will be using cashews. Can’t wait to see more of your videos and recipes. You have it going on! If you want to watch one of my youtube videos, look under Diana organic chef and watch my red lentil soup with Indian spices.
