Curry Distraction

Mostly right, most of the time. Mostly right, most of the time. I'm trying very hard to keep calm and not get stressed when Gremlin (increasingly) refuses her food and/or gets very cross at me feeding her, so am keeping Ruth's mantra at the front of my mind.

In a bid to forget this evening's traumatic dinner, which involved an emergency exchange re-calculation and rollover into yogurt (v. high protein) performed with screaming child in one ear, I am going to share another popular protein-free recipe instead. She loves this.

Sweet Potato Curry

Ingredients

2 Sweet Potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 Carrot, peeled and chopped
1/2 Red Pepper, de-seeded and chopped
1/2 Yellow Pepper, de-seeded and chopped
1/4 Leek, sliced
(or whatever variety of protein free vegetables you have)
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon Garam Masala
Pinch Curry Powder
Pinch Turmeric
Pinch Ground Ginger
1 tbsp Olive Oil

Method

Place 2/3 Sweet Potatoes in pan, with other vegetables except onions and boil until tender- 10mins ish.

In a separate pan place remaining sweet potato and onion. Boil until tender, drain off most of the water and return to the heat. Add oil, garam masala, turmeric and ginger and mash contents of pan into a smooth paste.

Serve other vegetables drenched in paste.

You can serve this on its own, as Gremlin likes it, or with prescription protein-free rice, or even regular rice (45g) as an exchange.

Happy thoughts ;-)
