Vegetable Curry
I love making vegetable curry with all the mixed vegetables in it. They are always a delight as they can really increase my appetite especially when I pour this super tasty curry dish over my plate of rice.
Chilli Ingredients

200g Shallot – roughly cut
10g Galangal – roughly cut
8 Garlic – roughly cut

200g Chilli paste (add a little more if you want more spicy)
15g Balachan powder (refer wiki)

150g Carrot – sliced
300g Long beans – cut to about 1.5″long

250ml Thick coconut mix with 1250ml water (total 1500ml)
Seasoning: 1 tbsp Sugar, 2 tsp Chicken powder (with no MSG added), 2 tsp salt or add to taste
Method:

Hi , can i ask about all the chili ingredients and chili paste , balachan powder , tumeric powder , cumin powder and coriander powder all put inside the grinder n grin together?
Yes, blend all the chili ingredients together.
Thanks Alison, this is really delicious and healthy.
MySimpleFood: Thank you for your comment and visiting ๐
My Hubby-D loves vegetable curry. Must make this one day!! ๐
nice veggie curry,very healthy too!
Yes, sometime I also add rice cakes into it. But I will fry some white coconut flakes with the dried shrimps first before adding the chilli paste and it will taste exactly like lontong.
I like that! add some rice cakes and can have lontong. :p
Thanks Angel. I always like to add more curry sauce on my rice.
Biren: Thanks! Wonder you can get all these ingredients in the States?
Chris: I don't think this is spicy I even add another 2 tbsp chilli paste into it.

love this type of curries. just bookmarked it for weekend dinner. but we dont get candle nuts here…how important is that. once saw that these could be replaced with almonds (Discovery travel and living).would that work?
Goodness! Gracious! Your vegetable curry seriously makes me want to jump through my screen and swim in/eat the curry. I love, love, love curry, particularly any vegetable type curry. I think I might be able to make this one….I'll give it a try but I doubt it will be as good looking as yours!
Sure Mary, you're most welcome. Anyway you can use the curry paste to cook with mixed vegetable too.
Thanks Simone. The color comes from the turmeric powder.
BeeBee: I love vegetable curry and I always like order this at the foodcourt. Try to cook half portion for you and your hubby.
