Curried Potatoes

This post is long over due. I, aDeana the non-vegan of this lovely duo, tried my hand at a recipe I found on Vegetarian Times website. I had my eyes on it for quite some time and bought potatoes with this recipe in mind. Here's a link to the recipe. The ingredients are pretty standard and the instructions are very straight forward. I have no pictures because they have a picture and it really does come out exactly like the picture.

A few things I did a little different.

• Fresh tomatoes were out of my price range so I just bought two cans of whole peeled unsalted tomatoes. I coarsely chopped them over the pot when they were to be added.
  
• I used regular curry from the regular supermarket nothing special.
  
• No need to go out and buy a jar of Minced Garlic (though you never know when you may need minced garlic) just use your food processor, if that seems like too much work than just dice the garlic as fine as possible.
  
• I did not have the required Jalapenos (hey you try living in the Bronx in an Italian neighborhood and show me some fresh Jalapenos that aren't prepackaged. I really just want to be able to buy two fresh jalapenos Is that really too much to ask.) I had a limited budget so just opted out and the dish was just fine.
  

Things I want to try next time

• Make more curried – So it didn't come out as curried as I was hoping it would. The dish was good for what it was but it lacked the curry flavor I enjoy as a half Jamaican woman.
  
• Try with Jalapenos – I know that won't make it more curried but it will add spice and that's always nice.
  
• I want it with more carrots I love them and they should be in everything along with broccoli.
  
• Try with Fresh Tomatoes
  
• Maybe try with more beans - I like black beans and having more only makes things better to me.
  

I think if I make it again with the changes I listed above I can get a thicker more stew consistency. This dish came out looser, like soup.
