Aaloo Mattar Dinner (Potato and Peas, silly!)

This was an easy dish I made last night with a few simple ingredients and spices! The recipe is from Sarah Kramer's third Cook Book "La Dolce Vegan!" And I've been using this book for about over 2 years now, even though I've just entered this Vegan journey. Her recipes are easy, fun and quick, but of course, best of all- delicious!

I'm doing this from memory, so bare with me :)

Ingredients:

1 cup brown rice

1 large onion

1 large potato

1 large or 2 medium tomatos

1/2 cup frozen Peas

1/4 cup fresh Cilantro

1/4 cup veggie broth
1 tsp Masala

1 tsp Ginger

1/2 tsp Paprika

1 tbsp oil

Salt to taste

Cook the rice accordingly. In a pan, saute onions in oil until translucent. Add in Masala, Ginger and Paprika, continueing to stir to prevent burning. Add in Veggie Broth, cubed potatoes, and minced tomatos, mix and cover with lid for 8-10 minutes until potatoes soften. Add frozen peas and Cilantro. sprinkle salt to taste. Cover again until rice is ready. Plate rice with Veggie mixture on top. TA-DAH! What an Indian Delight! :)

*The rice I cooked took about 45 minutes, but here's a tip. If you cook extra rice for the week, you can have it for future recipes and save a lot of time! The veggie mixture only took 15 minutes including the chopping!! And this meal only cost about $5.00 with 4 good servings, so Tony and I have it for lunch today as well!
