KENYAN VEGETABLE CURRY

Steps:

• Preliminaries: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Have available one 8-quart, heavy, ovenproof skillet or Dutch oven with a lid (or have aluminum foil available). If you cut recipe in half, a 6-quart pot will do.
• For the initial saute: In the skillet or Dutch oven, brown the onions in moderately hot oil along with the cumin and mustard seeds. Add the potato pieces (peeling is optional), and stir to coat each piece with the spices. Add the remaining spices and garlic and continue to stir for several minutes.
• Add the liquids: Thin the tomato paste with about ⅔ cup of water, then stir into the pot. Lower heat to medium. Add vegetables, one at a time, cooking for a minute or so between each addition, and put in the cooked chickpeas last.
• Bake the mixture: Cover with a lid or seal with foil and bake in preheated oven for about 45 minutes, checking after the first 20 minutes. The consistency should be rather thick, but add water if necessary to prevent burning. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
• Presentation: Serve over steamed rice or with Indian bread (such as naan).

ROASTED VEGETABLE CURRY

Steps:

• Break the cauliflower into bite-size florets and put into a large mixing bowl.
• Peel and dice the potatoes. Add to the mixing bowl.
• Add the oil, salt and turmeric to the mixing bowl and stir until everything is well mixed and the turmeric is evenly distributed.
• Spread the vegetables and oil mixture onto a large baking/cookie sheet with sides. All of the vegetables should be touching the surface of the baking sheet. If the baking sheet is too crowded, the vegetables may not brown. A large jelly roll pan would also work well.
• Bake in a preheated 425 degree oven for 25 minutes.
• After 25 minutes, flip the vegetables over with a spatula and cook at least 20 more minutes, or until the vegetables are starting to brown.
• While the vegetables are roasting, making up an Indian spice mixture. In a small bowl put the ground coriander, ground cumin, cayenne (reduce amount if you don't want it to be hot), garam masala and the ground fennel (optional). Stir to blend.
• When the vegetables have gotten some browning and have about 10 minutes left of cooking time, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Flip over the vegetables again with the spatula. Test one vegetable to make sure that there is enough salt. Then, sprinkle the Indian spice mixture onto the roasted vegetables.
• Return the baking sheet to the oven one more time and cook about 10 more minutes.
• Variations: Add some baby carrots to the mixture. Frozen petite peas can also be added, but stir the peas in after the curry is done. The heat from the roasted vegetables will defrost the peas.
