I love kumara, such a versatile vegetarian staple, plus a much healthier option compared to potatoes. Whether stuffed or roasted, there are so many delicious recipes.
I had my first Kumara Curry at my Mother in Law's place and it was brilliant.
Now I always ask for a big pot of it - knowing the leftovers for lunch will also be amazing!
Ingredients (for serving 2 people or 1 if you want the leftovers!)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 large red kumara, peeled and cut into 2cm cubes
- 1 cup (or one can) coconut cream
- 1 tsp curry powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp turmeric
- Parsley and red capsicum for garnish
Method
1. Melt butter and oil in medium saucepan
2. Add onion and cook until soft
3. Add kumara and cook a few minutes to seal with out browning
4. Add salt, spices and coconut milk
5. Cover with lid and cook until soft, about 10 minutes
6. Remove lid and cook until liquid reduces a little
7. Serve in a large bowl and garnish
You can make this curry your own by adding vegetables and other garnishes. When adding additional vegetables, especially those that absorb liquid such as pumpkin, always adjust the volume of coconut cream accordingly
