Britomart's Vegan-Friendly (for Wednez) Curry Potato Stuff

I guess it qualifies as a stew. And this is one of those fun recipes without exact ingredients. I'll try my hardest, though! Anyway, whilst contemplating vegan cooking earlier today, this was one that I realized could easily be vegan! This is also ridiculously easy.

• 4 medium potatoes (with skins) cut into cubes (about 1-2")
• Chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 TBSP butter or vegetable oil
• 1 medium onion
• 3-6 cloves of minced garlic (depends on your love & tolerance for garlic)
• generous TBSP grated fresh ginger
• 2 TSPs curry
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 can diced tomatoes (Contadina or Hunts, and plain)
• Optional vegetables - I especially like mushrooms & zucchini with this.
• Salt & pepper to taste

In a good sized pot, melt butter (or heat oil), then sautee onions, garlic & ginger until soft. (4-5 minutes.)

Add potatoes and equal parts water & broth so that potatoes are covered by a good half an inch. Bring to a boil & continue for about 12 minutes.

Reduce heat to a simmer and add curry, cumin & tomatoes. Also add whatever optional vegetables! Cook until all thick & stew-like, an hour or two.
