This one is very simple and makes a great weeknight dinner. You need a few core ingredients, and the rest can be decided based on what you have in your cupboard. Thus, cupboard curry! I&#8217;m especially fond of using root vegetables, peas, greens, and cauliflower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ingredients<\/strong> <br><em>Serves 3-4.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>1 tbsp coconut oil<\/li><li>1 15 oz can of coconut milk (regular or light is fine, but don&#8217;t use coconut cream)<\/li><li>1.5-2 tbsp curry powder<\/li><li>1-1.5 tsp salt<\/li><li>1-2 bay leaves<\/li><li>1 medium onion, diced (preferably white or yellow)<\/li><li>3-4 cups chopped vegetables of choice, for example:<ul><li>cauliflower and\/or broccoli, diced<\/li><li>carrots, sliced<\/li><li>yams or potatoes, diced<\/li><li>frozen peas<\/li><li>spinach<\/li><li>kale, torn into large pieces and stemmed<\/li><li>bell peppers, chopped<\/li><li>canned tomatoes, drained or fresh tomatoes, chopped and seeds removed<\/li><li>eggplant, diced<\/li><li>okra, sliced<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>About a cup of protein of choice (optional), for example:<ul><li>cooked or canned chickpeas, drained<\/li><li>extra-firm or firm tofu, drained and cubed<\/li><li>chicken breast, precooked and chopped<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Parsley to garnish (optional)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve washed and chopped the onion and your chosen ingredients, heat a wide pot or a deep pan over medium heat. Melt the coconut oil in the pan and then add the onion, stirring now and again, until it is just becoming translucent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If using peas or leafy greens, set these aside for later. Add the hardest vegetables you&#8217;re using (e.g carrots and potatoes) and spices to the pan. Use the smaller measurement of salt and curry powder. Saute for a couple more minutes. Add the medium-firm vegetables (e.g. yams, cauliflower, eggplant, peppers), protein of choice, and canned tomatoes, if using and saute a few more minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Add the coconut milk. Fill the empty can halfway with water and add that to pan as well. Add the peas, if using. Stir well and cover pan. Bring to <a href=\"https:\/\/pragmaticcooking.com\/index.php\/2021\/08\/22\/glossary\/\">simmering<\/a> and cook for about 15 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pragmaticcooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/cupboard-curry-cooking-1.jpg\" alt=\"pot of curry\" class=\"wp-image-410\" width=\"573\" height=\"431\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pragmaticcooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/cupboard-curry-cooking-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/pragmaticcooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/cupboard-curry-cooking-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pragmaticcooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/cupboard-curry-cooking-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pragmaticcooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/cupboard-curry-cooking-1-850x638.jpg 850w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 573px) 100vw, 573px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Taste the sauce and add the additional salt and curry, if desired. If the sauce is thicker than you would like, then add a little extra water. If it&#8217;s thinner than you would like, uncover and continue simmering, stirring frequently. Either way, continue cooking until the hardest vegetables are soft enough to be cut in half with a spoon. If using leafy greens, add them now and cook for 1-2 minutes. Otherwise, remove pot from heat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Serve the delicious cupboard curry hot and garnish with parsley, if desired. Also excellent served over rice or with naan!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are many, many kinds of curry. This one is very simple and makes a great weeknight dinner.
