Vietnamese style curry powder can be found in Asian markets - especially in cities that have a large Vietnamese population. If you can't find it, use Madras curry powder. This spicy soup can be made into a thick stew by reducing the vegetable stock and water by half. Serve with rice and French bread.

VIETNAMESE SPICY VEGETABLE CURRY

Vietnamese Spicy Vegetable Curry image

This Heart Smart vegetable curry was developed by Mai Pham for her book: "Best of Vietnamese and Thai Cooking" and is served at her restaurant, "Lemongrass" in Sacramento. She substitutes low fat milk for coconut milk to keep the saturated fat content down. I suggest adding a little coconut flavoring. Also a Vietnamese brand of curry powder such as Golden Bells would be preferred, or use a brand that is low in cumin and fennel.

VIETNAMESE VEGETABLE CURRY

Vietnamese Vegetable Curry image

Indian merchants introduced curries to Vietnam more than ten centuries ago. The Vietnamese made curry their own by adding their own flavors such as lemongrass and ginger. For this recipe, use the Vietnamese curry powder called Golden Bells. It's milder (less cumin and fennel seeds) and won't overwhelm the lemongrass and ginger. In case it's not available, I've included a recipe for a curry powder to make at home. For a variations of this recipe, try yucca, taro, cauliflower, long beans and chayote. The recipe is adapted from the book, Pleasures of the Vietnamese Table, by Mai Pham. The Vietnamese curry recipe is from, A World of Curries, by Dave DeWitt.
