We've been really into curry lately. This recipe uses potatoes. It’s relatively inexpensive and low in calories for such a mountain of food. The dish contains hardly any fat or carbohydrates, so it is exceptionally healthy and delicious.
Ingredients:
4 potatoes (1000g)
200g ground beef or vegetarian meatballs
500g carrots (fresh)
250g green beans (fresh or frozen)
250g peas (frozen)
500g cauliflower (or broccoli)
2 onions (400g)
4 tbsp sunflower oil
2 tsp Curry Madras or Garam Masala
2 tsp hot cayenne powder or spicy paprika powder
2 tsp parsley (dry)
2 tsp oregano
Preparation (prep 15 min + 20 min cooking time):
Peel the potatoes, cut them into cubes, and fry them for 20 minutes in oil with the parsley, oregano, and 1 tsp Curry Madras.
Cut the vegetarian meatballs into quarters, or roll small meatballs from the ground beef. Fry the meatballs in a separate skillet for 20 minutes.
Wash the carrots, cauliflower, and fresh green beans. Cut all vegetables into large pieces.
Place the chopped onion in a wok with the oil, 1 teaspoon of curry powder, and cayenne powder. Stir-fry for 3 minutes.
Add the cauliflower, peas, beans, and carrots. Stir-fry for 5 minutes.
Add the fried potatoes and ground beef. Heat through for 5 minutes.
Serve as a main course.
