Vegan Adventure #22 and VeganMofo #7 October 15, 2008

There was a miracle somewhere and I made a full vegan dinner.  Who would have thought it was possible?  Funny thing is it was very easy.  Another weird thing has occurred.  For about 4 days or so I actually could have been considered a Vegetarian.  I ate absolutely no meat, and it was completely by accident.  Since I have been cooking a lot of vegan food, that is what I have been eating, but it didn’t stay strictly vegan since I had some sweets that happened to have dairy and eggs in them, opps.

The Vegan Adventure continues with Chickpea and Spinach Curry. I wasn’t too intrigued by this recipe when I first read it through. Until I went to The Post Punk Kitchen’s Flickr page and saw a picture that someone took when they made this recipe. It looked SO GOOD that I knew that I had to make it.

The only problem that I had with this recipe was trying to find asafoetida (hing powder). Fizzle was right when he said that it is hard to find. Since it was only optional, I gave up and did not use it. The curry turned out great. I have never had a real curry or gone to an India restaurant or anything to get curry. My usually curry consists of me buying a jar of curry paste and making something close to the recipe on the back of the jar. It usually involves 1 chopped onion, 1 can diced tomatoes, curry paste, chicken, and hot cooked rice. Yes, chicken….remember I am not vegan I only play one on TV. Wait, I mean I am just experimenting right now.
