What to serve with curry instead of rice!

funkymonkey849

I have curry on the mealplan for tonight but I forgot to buy rice! Really don't want to make an extra trip to the shops but I'm really stuck for ideas on what to serve instead of rice.

I don't have any naan breads or cous cous, I have a few new potatoes and some pasta

Someone help me out otherwise it's gonna be curry cannelloni :rotfl:

Have you got natural yoghurt, flour, salt and yeast ? Make naan.
Or with (ideally) wholemeal flour make simple flat bread/chapati things.

I would probably go with new potatoes - should be lovely. Or if you really wanted to, you could do a bombay potato -style dish with tomato and spices to compliment whatever else you are having.

Could try to make a bombay potato-like dish?

Do you have any tomato's / chopped tomatos / passata and some spices (garam masala perhaps?)

I was thinking of bombay potatoes but I only have curry paste in so it would be the same flavour for the curry and potatoes lol

I regularly boil some new potatoes - cut them into two and stir them in with the curry so its a one pot dish - filling and lovely!

Chips? Go on, be a heathen lol

yorkie puddings or roll pancakes with the curry and crisp over in the oven.

If you roast the new potato's in the oven with a wee drop off oil and salt and garlic. (you could sprinkle with curry powder or cumin) Par boiling is quicker but I usually throw them in for 30 40mins.

Great low Carb alternative is to use Cauliflower to make rice.

Basically Grate Cauliflower put in to a suitable bowl and microwave for 4 mins. (don't add water).

I'd probably make a potato curry dish or perhaps a rosti with some nice herbs/spices to complement the dish you already have?? oooh or spicy wedges?

Put it on a Jacket Tattie. Or on proper (deep fried) chips its lovely if a little naughty.
