Eddo Curry

Eddo Curry

Eddo (also known as Taro root) is a starchy vegetable that is commonly used in place of a potato. This Curry is a very tasty way to feed a crowd. The smell of the curry frying fills the Compound at Karanambu! 

 Ingredients:

1 large raw Eddo (peeled and cubed) 
1/2 cup light cooking oil
1/2 cup curry powder
1 cup chopped garlic
2 cups chopped onions 
2 cups water
salt to taste

Directions:

1. In a cup, mix the curry powder with enough water to make a loose paste.
2. In a large cast iron pot, preheat the oil for frying.  When the oil is HOT, fry the curry paste. Stir to avoid burning over a low-ish flame.
3. Add the onions and garlic to the pot and fry all in the curry mixture.
4. Add the cubes of Eddo and coat in the curry mixture.
5. Add water as needed while the Eddo cooks to maintain a thick coating.
6. Add salt to taste
7. Continue to simmer until the Eddo is soft enough to slice easily with a fork.
Eddo curry is especially nice if served with Roti.
 We will post Salvador's Roti recipe in the coming days.
