One Pot Vegetable Keema (Vegan, Vegetarian)

January 13, 2015

One of my favorite guilty pleasures is Indian food. My husband and I frequent this tiny Indian restaurant in a nearby downtown, and the food is always so delicious I can never get enough (especially the Naan bread with coconut!).

And if you are a meat/dairy eater, this recipe can be easily adjusted.

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup diced white onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons fresh minced ginger or 1 teaspoon ground ginger
12 ounces precooked beef-less ground beef (I use Trader Joe's brand)
2 teaspoons coriander
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon turmeric
½ teaspoon cinnamon
? teaspoon black pepper
? teaspoon ground sea salt
1 cup soy creamer (or unsweetened soy milk)
1 cup dairy free plain yogurt or sour cream
6 small gold potatoes, peeled and diced into 1 inch pieces (makes about 2 cups)
½ cup diced celery
½ cup diced carrots
1 cup frozen peas
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro

In large, deep frying pan, heat olive oil over moderate heat. Add onion and cook about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and fresh ginger (if using ground ginger, add with other spices). Cook for 1 more minute. Add...
