adharas' Alternate Hizzy Korma

adharas revealed that there is more than one type of korma, then revealed this one in the Hizzy. Amusingly, I had already copied it to paste in here when I stumbled upon her post asking me to do that. Or, perhaps I'm the only one amused by that. Ah well.
  • About 3 onions, sliced
  • 3 inches ginger, sliced thin
  • 2-3 green chilis, slit, or whole if you don't want it hot
  • 4 potatoes, peeled and cut like fries
  • 1 carrot, peeled and cut on the diagonal
  • 1/2 cup of peas
  • 1 can of coconut milk.
Heat oil. Add onions, and fry over medium heat until light brown. Add ginger, fry few minutes. Add veggies, and fry few minutes. Add a can of coconut milk, and equal quantity water, cover and cook over medium heat until potatoes and carrots are tender. Add salt. If you use low fat coconut milk, don't add water. And make sure you are using unsweetened coconut milk.

This goes great with basmati rice, or naan. You get really good naan at the Indian stores, in the frozen section. Deep brand is the best, for anything. The stuff they sell in the refrigerated section is more like pizza dough.

Thanks so much to adharas for all the lovely recipes! I have never attempted anything remotely Indian at home, but might have to try now. The ingredients are a bit intimidating, but maybe the Middle Eastern grocery near me can tell me where an Indian one is (and maybe even have some of the ingredients there).
