SO... i made this delish indian dish

It takes FOREVER to make and i will apologize now if the recipe is hard to follow, and that it has what i feel like is a bizillion ingredients, an i never took a picture of the finished project. 

it is really yummy though

you will need...

1 large onion

2 large potatoes ( you can have creative freedom in choosing which kind)

1 package frozen spinach

2 cans tomato puree

1 can chic peas

5 cloves garlic

1 cup frozen peas

2 cups cauliflower 

1 tbs veganiase ( i prefer the grape seed kind)

1/2 cup raw cashews

1 package soft tofu cubed (makes a great fake paneer)

* i feel there is no limit to the amount of spice that should be used, and i never measure. Use at your own will

tumeric

cumin

garuam masala 

curry

siriachi

paprika

in a very large/ deep frying pan heat the oil of your choice

add chopped onion and garlic and fry till almost soft

add cubed potato (skins and all)

add a few shakes of tumeric , so that it can soak into the potato

cook for 3 minns

add tomato puree and frozen spinach and cashews

cook on med heat covered for 20 minns so that the potatoes and cashews can soften and all the flavors can mesh together.

remove from heat

now would be a good time to get the water going for the rice of your choice. i would suggest a brown basmati

cool the contents of the frying pan enough where is it safe to put in a food processor

blend till smooth, but allow some chunks of the potato and cashew (these are always a nice surprise)

place mixture back into frying pan

mix in veganaise 

add spices to your liking

then add, cauliflower, drained chic peas,  green peas, and faux paneer

cook one med heat covered until rice in finished.

this dish is great day or but even better the second day after all the flavors are soaked into one another.

the only picture, that felt right

One day i will hold this in my hand, and then keep it in a drawer for the rest of my life

cashew cheese

i will always be in search of the perfect cheese. though i thought follow your heart was the best for pizza i decided to try and make my own. i combined a few different recipes that i found from other blogs.  the result baked nice on pizza but was a little gritty (my fault, could have processed longer). it was also yummy as is, with chips , smeared on bread, and almost had a hummus meets nacho cheese taste to it. i like both those things just fine!

2/3 cup cashews

2/3 cup water (or more)

1/4 cup red bell pepper

1/4 red onion

1/4 nutritional yeast flakes

2 garlic gloves

3tbs lemon juice

2tbs braggs liquid aminos

1tbs sesame oil

dash of sea salt

combine all ingredients in a food processor and blend until creamy, adding more cashews if it is to watery and more water if it if too thick. for a lighter taste i would recommend heating the garlic, onion, and pepper in a pan first to soften. for pizza spread a little over pizza sauce, a little goes a long way. i ate it old school just cheese and sauce, but i sprinkled sesame seeds and oregano over the top.
