Today during errands, we stopped by Goodwill and picked up this excellent enameled cast iron stew pot for $10. It inspired me to cook up an Indian stew for the family. My wife liked it so much she suggested I blog what I did, since it was all spur of the moment, like so much of my cooking is. The ingredients are as follows, in what I remember to be the approximate quantities... 1/2 vidalia onion diced 2 stalks celery chopped 2 medium carrots chopped 1 green chili pepper chopped 1 green bell pepper chopped 1 1/2 large tomato chopped 2 small white potatoes diced 2 cloves garlic minced 2 teaspoons minced ginger 3 or 4 mint leaves 3 or 4 bay leaves 4 or 5 small green leafy nutty spice I picked up at an Indian store, but have NO idea what it is... 1 teaspoon cardamom powder 1 teaspoon tumeric powder 1 teaspoon coriander powder 1 teaspoon cumin seed 2 teaspoon mustard seed 1 teaspoon fish sauce 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 can coconut milk 2 teaspoons chicken bullion 1/2 lb cub
