So, lately i've been thinking about incorporating indian food diet principles..into my erm diet.

some beef i got from the local organic store

potatoes


i need an idea for an indian..except they wouldn't eat beef(epiphany) if they are hindu..so keyword INSPIRED

any extra ideas on other vegtables and spices to add?

    I have no experience with this but I'll hazard a guess

    like lamb
    a tomato based curry
    peas
    potato
    like a beef stew or goulash but with Indian spices

    Oh - easy and tasty but I am going off the top of my head so I don't have all the proportions...
    This was from www.vegweb.com for other ideas - and I tweaked it a bit

    Not originally a crockpot recipe, but I add rice to it and a bit more liquid and let it go for a couple of hours.

    Indian Dal

        1 cup small red lentils - rinsed
    1 cup rice
        1 medium onion - sliced thinly
        1 small hot pepper - chopped - don't touch your eyes!
        2 cloves garlic (or more if you like garlic)
       
        spices:
    1 teaspoon cumin,
    1 teaspoon coriander,
    1/8 teaspoon cardamom,
    1/4 teaspoon cayenne,
    3/4 teaspoon garlic powder,
    1/8 teaspoon ginger,
    1 teaspoon salt and
    1/4 teaspoon pepper
     
      4 cups water or broth
      - and your beef in chunks if you want.

    Mix it all in your crockpot and let go on low for 3-4 hours - check the rice to see if it is cooked...

      - chopped spinach to add at the end

    Hope that inspires!
