Directions
-
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.
-
Add the finely chopped onion and diced yellow bell pepper; saut for about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and translucent.
-
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour, curry powder, ground cumin, salt, and pepper over the vegetables. Stir constantly for about 30 seconds to cook out the raw flour taste and bloom the spices.
-
Gradually pour in the water while stirring to prevent lumps from forming. Add the diced red potatoes to the skillet.
-
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and let it simmer for 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
-
Stir in the sliced Granny Smith apples, drained garbanzo beans, and thawed frozen peas.
-
Cover again and cook for an additional 10 minutes to heat the beans and peas through and allow the flavors to meld.
-
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot over a bed of cooked long-grain rice.
