When I had the idea for this meal, I wanted a way to combine curry with a starchy dish without having to do both in separate pots/pans, I wanted a ‘Jollof’ kinda vibe.
This combo might seem unusual for most but I can actually tell you, it taste delicious. It makes you keep going back for more.
One of my aim is to make the most unusual food combo, to experiment with food. The purpose of this isn’t to undermine traditional meals but to see what else can be done with them.
I hope you enjoy this recipe as much I loved making it.
Creamy Curry Noodles / Pasta
This recipe is creamy and delicious. It is combining curry and pasta in a unique way. Mostly we have our curry with rice or flat bread but combining the pasta with curry is so creamy and so yummy.
- Blender or liquefier
- Pan or pots
- Goat meat (wash and cook till tender with garlic, ginger, onion powder, salt and seasoning cube)
- ¼ Cup Meat stock (from cooking the goat meat or water )
- 5-6 Mini Sweet Pepper / Bell Pepper (de-seed (2-3 regular size))
- 4 Spring onions (halved (divide in 2 equal parts) and chopped one half)
- 1 Medium Red/Purple onions (slice)
- 1 Medium Yellow/White onions (slice and halved (Divide into 2 equal parts))
- 3 Green Thai Pepper / Green habanero pepper (de-seed (Use more pepper if you can handle the heat))
- Cilantro / Coriander / Parsley Leaves (Handful)
- 3 TBSP Coconut Oil or any cooking oil
- ½ cup Shrimp (Cooked)
- 1 TSP Amchar Masala (Ground (Optional))
- 1 TSP Cumin (Ground)
- 1 TSP Ground Cardamom (Ground)
- 1 TBSP Jamaican curry (Powder (Optional))
- 1 TBSP Ground Turmeric (Powder)
- 1 TBSP Curry (Powder)
- 1 Can Coconut milk (About 398ml to 400ml)
- 1-1½ Cup Egg Noodles / Any pasta
- Seasoning Cube
- Salt to taste
Place pot on medium heat, once it is hot, add 1 Tbsp coconut oil and allow to heat.
Then add in the onions and allow to sauté till it softens, stirring constantly so it doesn’t burn.
Then add in the mini sweet pepper and allow to soften.
Then add the green Thai pepper, add the cilantro/coriander/parsley and the spring onion. Stir and allow to soften. (Depending on the quantity of veggies you are using, it should take about 10 to 20 mins to soften)
Then transfer everything into a blender and blend until it is smooth, it turns into a paste / puree.
Then set that aside.
In a medium size pot, add water (enough to cook the pasta or egg noodles), add salt (optional: a tsp of oil) into the water and allow to boil.
Once the water is boiled, add the pasta / egg noodles and allow to cook. (NOTE: we don’t want to fully cook the pasta / noodles, it should be about 3 mins away from been fully cooked).
Then transfer the pasta / egg noodles into a sieve so that all the water drain out and set aside.
Now, place a pan on heat and once it is hot, add 2 Tbsp coconut oil and allow to heat. Once it is hot, add the saved / halved chopped onions and allow to sauté, stirring constantly so it doesn’t burn.
Then add the cooked goat meat and stock/water and stir it, allow to cook for about 3-5 mins
Now add the curry, Jamaican curry (if using), ground turmeric, Amchar masala (if using), cumin, ground cardamom and stir.
Allow to cook for about 5 mins.
Then add the veggies puree (the blended vegetables we did at the beginning), then stir.
Use about 1/2 cup of water to rinse the blender and pour that into the sauce and stir.
Then add the coconut milk (the quantity of the coconut milk will determine the quantity of the sauce. For 2 serving use 1 can = 398ml of coconut milk. Increase the quantity of coconut milk if making more servings.)
Then stir and allow to simmer for about about 3 mins.
Add the cooked shrimps and cook for another 3 mins.
Add salt and seasoning cube to taste and stir.
(NOTE: At the stage the curry sauce is ready and you can stop here if you don’t want to combine the curry and the pasta/noodles. The curry can be eaten with boiled white rice, flat bread, etc)
Now add the cooked pasta / egg noodles and stir until the noodles/pasta is thoroughly combined.
Then add the chopped spring onions and stir.
Remove from heat.
Enjoy!
With Love, B!
