Vegetables in Hot n Sweet Curry

You Need (serves 2-3):

• 6-7 tomatoes
• 2-3 green chilies
• 5-6 button mushrooms
• 2 white onions
• 1 capsicum
• 1 carrot
• 5-6 baby corn
• Tofu 150-200 gm
• Olive Oil
• Salt, Pepper

For the curry, we need to prepare the sauce and the vegetables.

Take the vegetables (capsicum, mushroom, white onion, baby corn) and tofu , chop them they way you like, sauté them and keep aside. Tofu would be square or rectangular pieces of equal size generally and the carrot will have to lightly boiled.

For the sauce, take 6 medium sized tomatoes, cut them into big pieces and keep aside. Add about two chopped green chilies and grind them in a mixer.

Take 2-3 tsb of olive oil in a non-stick wok. Add 2 large spoonful of ginger garlic paste and lightly fry it for 3-5 minutes. Add the tomato and green chilli paste to the wok. Add salt to taste and let it cook on medium heat for 10-12 minutes.

Add about 3 large spoons of tomato ketchup and 3 large spoons of red chili sauce to give the sauce a hot and sweet flavor. Add the sautéed vegetables and tofu cubes to the wok. Add freshly ground pepper on top and let it simmer for 1-2 mins. The curry is ready!

Tastes good with steamed rice or basil rice.

Holland Village: A foodie's delight

Location: Holland Village, Singapore

Holland Village is a foodie’s delight! Located in west Singapore it has numerous casual dining options along with several watering holes. The area has its own MRT station and Bus Stops making it very convenient to get there.

On offer here are various local and specialty eateries – Mexican, Indian, Japanese etc. along with fast food and dessert joints. It also houses a large food court serving mainly local cuisine. Find out restaurants in Holland V here.

This place is a crowd puller especially the evenings where you will find a lot of foreigners and expatriates thronging the place. After around 6:00pm the street is cordoned off with temporary barriers allowing no vehicles. The merry making and food & drinks practically spill out onto the street. The music, food and the camaraderie lend a wonderful festive atmosphere to the place.

As of now I've only tried one restaurant here called ‘AlPatio’. It serves Mexican cuisine and is quite popular among the crowd. Like everything else it has limited vegetarian options but was worth one try. The ambiance was pleasant and service was good. The food was decent but not extraordinary.

To satisfy my taste buds I tried some chocolate dipped churros at Churrosity and these turned out to be sweet cinnamon laden delights.

Of course I'm not done yet. I would like to go back there and try other options. You are welcome to join me :-)
