Labour inducing curry!

I'm 6 days overdue now! I can't believe it! Seeing as how my little girl was a whole week early I really didn't expect to still be pregnant almost a week late this time round! The CD has been helping to keep me chilled out though.
So, today I'm on a mision to try natural methods of bringing on the birth as I really don't fancy hanging on til I get induced! So far I'm doing well, I woke up this morning and took my raspberry leaf tablet (I was going to drink the tea but my midwife suggested the tablets so that I know exactly how much I'm getting). Then I did my normal morning yoga etc before getting ready for a nice long hilly walk! I even sacrificed doing the roast dinner we had planned to have in order to make a hellishly hot curry! It was pretty tasty so I'll put the recipe in here:

Vegetable Madras

Ingredients:
2 tbsp Coriander Leaf
1 tbsp Ground Cumin
1 tsp Tumeric
1/2 tsp Cracked Black Pepper
1 tsp Chilli Powder
2 Garlic Cloves, crushed and chopped
1 tsp Ground Ginger
3 tsp Chilli Flakes (depending how brave you feel)
2 1/2 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 1/2 Onions, peeled and chopped
4 medium Potatoes, peeled and chopped
300g Jerusalem Artichoke, peeled and chopped
300g Greens, washed and sliced
2 tbsp Tomato Puree
1 cup Beef Stock

Method:
1. Combine the Coriander Leaf, Ground Cumin, Tumeric, Cracked Black Pepper, Chilli Powder, Garlic Cloves, Ground Ginger, Chilli Flakes and Lemon Juice and mix to for a paste.

2. Heat the Oil in a Wok and cook the paste for 1 min before adding the Onion.

3. When the Onion is nicely coated in the paste add the Beef Stock and Tomato Puree. Then add the Potatoes and Jerusalem Artichokes and simmer covered up for 15 mins.

4. Add the Greens and simmer covered up for a further 30 mins or until the veg is nice and tender. Check the sauce every now and then and add more water as necessary.

5. Serve with Rice and Naan

This recipe is also delicious as a Beef Curry, just swap the Potatoes, Jerusalem Artichokes and Greens for up to a kilo of cubed Chuck Steak and cook it before adding the paste. I have a nice recipe for Garlic and Coriander Naan for making in the bread machine but I will post soon in the future! I sat and ate my lunch on a birth ball and now I'm going to go into the garden with my little girl as the suns come out. Then I guess later I'll be eating a large bowl of Pineapple and having another Raspberry Leaf tablet!
