Mixed Vegetable Curry

A variety of seasonal vegetables are cooked together in a gravy flavoured by a few ground spices, onions and tomatoes. Whole green chillies are added towards the end to enhance the flavour of the dish and also to retain their fresh green colour.

Ingredients:

4-5 tbsp cooking oil
1 large onion finely chopped
1/2 inch cube of root ginger, peeled and finely sliced
1 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp paprika
4 small ripe tomatoes, skinned and chopped or a small can of tomatoes with the juice
225 g/8oz potatoes, peeled and diced
75g/3 oz french beans or dwarf beans sliced

75g/3oz garden peas, shelled weight
450 ml warm water
2-4 whole fresh green chillies
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp salt or to taste
1 tbsp chopped coriander leaves.

Method:

Grind together the paprika, coriander, turmeric and cumin masala to a paste. Scrape, wash and cut the vegetables. Keep it ready. Chop the onions, slit the green chillies and slice the ginger. In a kadai pour the required amount of oil and add the finely sliced ginger, green chillies and sliced onion and wait till the onions are translucent.
