Ingredients
- 2 cups white potatoes peeled and chopped
- 2 cups cauliflower cut into florets
- 1 cup green peas fresh or frozen
- 1 teaspoon dried fenugreek leaves
Masala Base
- 1 cup red onion rough chopped
- 3 roma tomatoes rough chopped
- 1 inch fresh ginger peeled (or 1 tbsp ginger paste)
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 serrano chiles rough chopped
- 2 tablespoon ghee or vegetable oil
- 2 small Indian bay leaf
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder (or cayenne powder)
- 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
Instructions
- In a food processor or blender, pulse the the onion, tomatoes, ginger, garlic and chili until almost pureed (I prefer a little texture). Pour into sieve over bowl, and using spoon or spatula, press to extract excess water. Discard water and set aside.
- Heat oil in a Dutch oven or deep skillet with lid. Fry the cumin seeds with bay leaves for 1 minute. Pour in pureed vegetables, salt, turmeric, chili powder, garam masala and ground coriander. Stir and cook on low for 8 minutes.
- Add the potatoes, cauliflower and 3 cups of water, stir to combine. Bring to a boil and cover. Turn heat to low and simmer 15 minutes, until vegetables are fork tender.
- Remove from heat, add frozen peas and fenugreek leaves. Stir and season to taste if salt needed.
- Serve as a side dish with or over rice as a main dish.
