Vegan MoFo - Xacuti 'chicken'

There are not many meals starting with X so I was pretty limited for choices for today.  Xacuti is a Goan curry & is extremely delicious.  This is possibly my favourite meal of the month & it is the first time I have ever made a curry  from scratch & it was nowhere near as difficult as I thought it would be.

I used this recipe for the xacuti chicken & subbed canola oil for ghee & mock chicken & potatoes for the actual chicken & I didn't garnish with coriander because it is foul.  I served my curry with this rice which I also subbed canola oil for ghee & which was also super delicious.  I am always making my rice this way from now on when we are eating Indian food.

Vegan MoFo - Korma

I kept changing my mind on what to make for K and in the end I went with a korma.  I used this recipe from food.com but used light coconut milk instead of soaking the coconut & used broccoli & beans as my vegetables.  I just found this quite boring & wouldn't make it again, it is also pretty ugly looking! 

However, the star of the meal was the sweet potato naan which I had on the side.  I used this recipe & it was just as delicious as it sounds.

Cauliflower Dal & Parathas

When I saw this recipe on Fatfree Vegan Kitchen for Cauliflower Dal I immediately went out & bought panch phoran with the intention of making it but forgot about it until I was walking through the Vic Market last week & saw whole cauliflowers for $1.20. So this ended up being a super cheap meal & it made heaps - 6 huge serves. Besides being cheap it was really tasty & really easy so a winner all round!

I served it with basmati rice & parathas. The parathas are from this recipe on Vegan Yum Yum. I have made the aloo parathas before & I really like them but I couldn't really be bothered tonight so I just made plain parathas & they were also delicious!

This was a great meal!
