Mung Bean Curry
I've never tried mung beans before but they were really easy to cook with and have an interesting taste. For this quick curry I fried some onions, added some spices and then some cooked mung beans together. Then I added some coconut milk. Not bad.
Sweet Potato Curry
I started another Daniel Fast on January 7th,2012. That means 3 weeks with no meats, dairy, sugar or caffeine. Seafood is okay but I'll try to stay away from it as much as possible.
The first dish I attempted during my fast was a sweet potato curry
Ingredients
1 cup kidney beans, boiled
1 large sweet potato, diced
I head of brocolli, cut into mini florets
1 handful of raisins
2 carrots, cubed
1 can coconut milk
2 cups vegetable stock
Garam masala
Salt and Pepper
Cayenne pepper
Ginger
1 onion, chopped
Minced ginger
Method
Saute onions. Add spices and garlic. Saute further.
Add vegetables, beans and vegetable stock. Boil, then reduce to medium heat. Cook until sweet potatoes are tender.
Add raisins and coconut milk. Heat.
Season with salt and pepper.

Happy New Year 2012!
Kathy won a free New Years Eve dinner at Maenam, a great Thai restaurant on West 4th Ave, and invited me to go along with her (thanks Kathy!). I wish I could remember the names of all the dishes. Everything tasted incredble anyway. Happy 2012!
