Ingredients
- 1 (1-pound) bag mixed frozen vegetables
- 2/3 cup plain yogurt
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground coriander
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground cinnamon
- 2 medium cloves garlic, crushed
- 3 dried red chiles, stems and seeds removed if less heat is desired
- 1/4 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- Black pepper, optional
Directions
Poke several holes in the bag of frozen vegetables and microwave on high for 2 to 3 minutes or until thawed. Set aside.
In medium mixing bowl, whisk together yogurt and cornstarch. Set aside.
Heat oil in a 10-inch, non-reactive saute pan over medium-high heat. Add cumin seeds, fennel seeds and mustard seeds, cover pan with a splatter screen, and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to pop. Once they begin to pop, turn the heat down to medium, and add turmeric, onion powder, coriander, cinnamon, garlic, and chiles. Saute until garlic turns golden brown in color, approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Gently add the vegetables, sugar, salt and pepper, if desired, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until vegetables are heated through. Remove vegetables from heat, pour into bowl with yogurt mixture, and stir to combine. Remove chiles if desired, and serve immediately.

I've tried this recipe at least 3 times. My wife loves it but I have compared the flavor to cardboard. The spices just don't blend...maybe not enough contact time with the vegetables.

I loved this recipe, but I want to give a few tips:
(1 The spices must be all measured out and ready ahead of time, as they cook quickly!
(2 I only cook with fresh, and not frozen vegetables. I simply purchased a number of mixed vegetables: onions, mushrooms, zucchini, eggplant, and even okra (when available. I also add some firm tofu, for extra protein. I add them to the pan according to their cooking time, and I let the whole thing simmer a while.
When you follow this advice, I can assure you that the meal is wonderful! You can use nonfat yogurt and serve with quinoa, for a very healthy meal.
