Chickpea Curry with Courgettes ala @sheapureness : original photos and cooking inspired by steemit from @ndbeledrifts

Hey all, I am here to express my love for a new recipe I tried which I found on steemit, a winner for sure. Chickpea Curry with Courgettes, Sweet Potatoes, Okra on a bed of Coconut Couscous and Quinoa - I eat the rainbow Baby Recipe Week # 5 by @sheapureness.

The spices and the vegetables created a flavor that was far surpassing the quality of many meat-centered meals I have had, and the omission of meat and dairy created a great relief for my pocketbook, at the local grocery store, where food is expensive.
I have had the luxury of tasting exquisitely prepared curry in the past when I used to work at an Indian Restaurant with my friends from Nepal, and so I had a sense of what a spectacular recipe this was before I started cooking -- it definitely lived up to my high hopes.
The original recipe called for Okra (which I was unable to find, to my sorrow) Coconut Couscous and Quinoa, which I had to substitute with basmati rice. I followed the recipe as closely as I could given my limitations.

I chopped an onion, and began to cook it with the oil and herbs ( I used turmeric, garam masala, and cumin )


Using my food processor - la machine - I combined and chopped the tomatoes, (seeds in, because I was too lazy to de-seed the tomatoes), garlic, green onions, ginger, green and red pepper.

After cooking the onions, I added some bell peppers, then the blended veggies. I added more spices and then the garbanzo beans.



Afterwards, I added water, zucchini, sweet potatoes, salt, and I covered the pot on med. simmer for 25 minutes. I made the rice after soaking it for 20 minutes, and voila!

It was a healthy and satisfying meal of organic and humane substance. I am so grateful to the steemit community, especially @sheapureness for helping me address the great quandries of my life-- what to make for dinner ! This was a great post and I will be making this in the future!
