I Favor Curry

stoutfellowThis week, I decided to make what the cookbook called "vegetable curry". To be honest, I wasn't sure it deserved the name "curry"; the only spices were cumin seed and garlic powder, and a real curry (IMO) needs more than that.
It looked tasty, in any case: potatoes, tomatoes, carrots, bell pepper, onion, and green peas (added after the rest had cooked), and I decided to throw in some mushrooms left over from last week's beef noodle dish. The first bowlful, on Sunday, though, was disheartening; the flavor was about two degrees south of "meh". Fortunately, a night in the fridge worked wonders, and the three bowls I've eaten since have been delicious.
I really should go for a real curry sometime. I'll look over that Indian cookbook, see what looks good....
