My first try making a curry!

I absolutely adore the amazing flavors of curry. So warming, so incredibly flavorful. So amazing.

We tend to eat the same types of flavors: American-Italian and plain old American. A lot of my recipes use flavors of garlic, salt and pepper, onion, oregano, basil, etc. Nothing too exciting. Tonight, I needed to mix it up! The following are pretty rough estimates...

Ingredients:
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 large onion
1 small sweet potato
1 head broccoli
4 roma tomatoes
1 15 oz. can crushed tomatoes
1 tbsp. garlic powder
2 tsp. curry powder
1 tsp. garam masala (I picked up a jar of this on a whim... if you don't have it, give a shake in a pot of whatever you have of the following: coriander, cumin, cinnamon, cardamom,

* one package of seitan (optional) - if you want to add chicken, tofu, shrimp, etc., I'm sure it'd be delicious!

Tools: your noodle pot and a big ole spoon

Method:
Swirl the olive oil in your pot, heat it to medium heat. Chop the onion, toss it in. Dice the potato, toss it in, then the broccoli, then the tomatoes. As you add the vegetables in one by one, stir the pot and cover in between. Add the can of crushed tomatoes, your spices and stir. I also added in the seitan here. If you're using meat, I suggest starting to cook the meat when you start cooking the onions. Cover the pot and turn down to low. Simmer 15 minutes. Then remove the cover, stir, and simmer for another 15 minutes.

Enjoy!
