Directions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the cardamom pods, cinnamon stick and clove and cook, stirring, until the whole spices are toasted, about 20 seconds.
Add the onions, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the ginger and garlic and cook, stirring, until golden, about 2 minutes. Add the coriander, cumin, chili powder and turmeric; cook, stirring and scraping the pan, until the ground spices are toasted, about 30 seconds.
Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring, until they break down, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in 1 1/4 cups water and the coconut milk. Add the potatoes, eggplant, cauliflower and serrano; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low; cover and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
Add the green beans and simmer, uncovered, until tender, 5 minutes. Thin the curry with water, if necessary. Discard the serrano and season with salt. Serve with rice and top with cilantro.
Cook’s Note
Toasting the spices is a key step: It brings out their flavor and cooks off any raw taste. Be sure to remove any whole spices before serving.
