Vegetable Curry
From Food Network Kitchens

Ingredients
5 cloves garlic
One 3-inch chunk peeled, fresh ginger
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon whole cumin seeds
1/4 heaping teaspoon whole cloves
10 cardamom pods
8 whole allspice
One 3 inch long cinnamon stick, broken in half
1 bay leaf
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 teaspoons curry powder
1/2 jalapeno, or more to taste, in one piece
1/2 cup whole, peeled tomatoes (with puree) roughly chopped
1/2 cup whole milk yogurt
2 1/2 cups water

2 teaspoons kosher salt
6 small red new potatoes (about 10 ounces), quartered
1 1/2 heaping cups small cauliflower florets
4 ounces fresh green beans, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained
Serving suggestion: Basmati rice and chutney

Directions
In a small food processor (mini-chopper), combine the garlic and ginger
and puree into a paste. Set aside.
Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the cumin seeds, cloves, cardamom, allspice,
cinnamon stick, and bay leaf and cook, stirring constantly, until toasted and fragrant and the
cinnamon stick unfurls, about 30 seconds. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until lightly browned,
about 3 minutes. Add the garlic-ginger paste, curry powder, and jalapeno and cook, stirring, until
lightly browned and fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomato and yogurt and cook, stirring, until
they separate from the oil and there is a distinctive sizzling sound, as the sauce "fries" in the
oil, about 7 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring, for about 1 minute more.
Add the water, salt, and potatoes and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, covered, stirring

occasionally, until tender, about 10 minutes. Add the cauliflower, green beans, and chickpeas, bring
to a boil, and cook, uncovered, until the vegetables are tender and the liquid has thickened, about
5 minutes more. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve with rice and chutney.
Cook's Note: You may add or substitute any number of vegetables as you like in this recipe. Okra or
any sort of sturdy green, such as kale, would be welcome additions.
