Ingredients
3 large Yukon Gold or other golden potatoes
3 big stalks broccoli with fist-sized crowns, or one larger melon-sized crown
1 piece fresh ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 can diced tomatoes
3/4 cup roasted unsalted whole almonds
1/2 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
3 cups vegetable stock
1 stick cinnamon
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish
2 to 3 cups cooked rice, to serve
Dutch oven, or other large, heavy pot with a lid
Food processor or blender
Directions
Without peeling, cut the potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Steam the potatoes over boiling water in a vegetable steamer, tightly covered, for 10 minutes. When done, the potatoes should be firm, but tender and easily pierced with a fork. Drain.
Cut the stems from the crown. Use a paring knife to peel the tough outer skin from the broccoli stems. Slice the stems into 1/4-inch pieces. Cut the crown into florets about 3-inches long.
In a food processor or blender, combine the ginger, garlic, tomatoes, 1/2 cup of the almonds , and salt. Pulse the mixture until it is smooth.
In a Dutch oven or other large, heavy pot with a lid, heat the canola oil over medium heat. Add the chili powder, coriander, cumin, and turmeric. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute until the spices are fragrant.
Add the pureed tomato mixture to the pot with the spices – stand back as it may splutter as you add it to the pan. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the stock and cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil. Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
Add the potatoes and broccoli to the sauce and bring to a boil. Cover the pot and simmer for 8 minutes, or until all the vegetables are tender when pierced with a skewer.
Remove the cinnamon stick. Coarsely chop the remaining 1/4 cup almonds. Ladle the curry into bowls with rice and garnish with almonds and cilantro.
