Number Of Ingredients 22

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

Serving suggestion: Basmati rice and chutney

Steps:

  • 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 the vegetables properly: Overcooked vegetables will be mushy and bland. Cook them until they are tender but still have a bit of a bite to them.
  • Use a good quality coconut milk: Coconut milk is an essential ingredient in many vegetarian curries. Be sure to use a good quality coconut milk that is thick and creamy.
  • Don't be afraid to add some heat: If you like spicy food, feel free to add some chili peppers or curry powder to your curry. You can also use a hot pepper sauce or sambal to taste.
