Indian tonight... Curried Vegetables with Tomatoes



This Indian dish is very easy and yummy! You can get most of these spices at a regular grocery store, except for garam masala. You can get garam masala at a local Indian grocery store. I bought my spices at Patel Brothers on Sawmill Road. It's a fairly large Indian grocery store and they seem to have everything. 

  • 1 can(14oz) diced tomatoes 
  • 1/2 teaspoons garam masala
  • 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoons turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoons cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 potatoes, diced
  • 1 bunch cauliflower, chopped
  • 1/2 can(14oz) sweet peas
  • 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
1. In a large skillet, sautee the onions and potatoes in olive oil (or butter) for about 3 minutes. Add the tomato and all the spices. Cook, stirring frequently for 3 minutes. 
2. Add cauliflower and reduce the heat to medium. (Add more oil or a little bit of water if needed.) Stirring frequently for another 5 to 6 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, and stir in the lemon juice and fresh chopped cilantro for garnish. Serve over steamed basmati rice.
