Curried Vegetables And Rice For Lunch With A Tropical Desert~Vegan
Yesterday I searched for the very basic curry spices, cumin coriander and turmeric. There aren't too many of those things in regular supermarkets but I found enough at Walmart to make a delicious vegetable curry.

I am not an expert at making any complex Indian curries so I stick to the basic spices. I found dried ground cumin, but no dried coriander so I used fresh. I also was unable to find ground dried turmeric which is what I have always used in Canada.

Here fresh turmeric is plentiful and I don't actually know what they use it for. So I purchased some of those roots along with ginger.

I just ground garlic, ginger, turmeric, chili,  coriander, and green onions in the blender then sauteed them after I sauteed the dry spices in peanut oil. I try to stay away from oil but for certain things I'll use it.

I added the rest of the mixed vegetables which consisted of spinach, kale, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower and chayote squash which is a favorite of mine.

I covered it with water and vegetable soup base then let it cook until the vegetables were tender then adding a little bit of coconut cream to thicken it a bit.

I was lucky to find some basmati rice which I didn't think would be in Mexico but I did so that is what I served the curry with.

It was a perfect lunch with the perfect spice for us.

Normally we don't eat desert because we avoid sugar but I accidentally bought coconut cream sweetened with sorbitol. I decided to make a desert with it.

Plantains are something I have never used much but here in Mexico they are everywhere so I thought I would give them a try.

It was worth it. I wrapped them in banana leaves that I got from the yard(I hope no one notices), then steamed them with coconut cream and raisins. After I boiled some additional coconut cream and poured it on top of the plantains.

This was a hot sweet desert that I am now addicted to. Oh oh.

Plantain is my new thing. I need more.

OMG, it looks so yummy. I feel like after seeing it I am hungry now and the most difficult thing is I can't go out as I am in my dormitory and it is 2 am in the morning.
I hope it was delicious and you enjoyed.
