How to Make Wonderful Veggie Curry
- Finely chop 1 medium onion. Gently soften in 1/4 cup water in a small pot over low heat for about 5 minutes.
- Set the softened onion aside.
- Peel and cube 2 large sweet potatoes (about 1.5 lbs). Steam in a large pot for 10 minutes.
- Add 2 large carrots, peeled and chopped, to the steamer. Steam for another 5 minutes.
- Add 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into florets, to the steamer. Steam for 5 more minutes.
- While the vegetables steam, heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a small frying pan over medium heat.
- Add 1 teaspoon mustard seeds and sauté until they begin to pop (about 1 minute).
- Add 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder, 1/4 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste), and a pinch of salt. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the spices.
- Remove the spice mixture from the heat.
- Remove the steamed vegetables from the steamer basket. Add the softened onion and stir in the spice mixture.
- Add 1 1/2 cups of vegetable broth or water.
- Bring to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes.
- When sweet potatoes are tender but not mushy, add 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes, drained, and 1 cup of frozen peas or 1 bell pepper, chopped.
- Simmer for another 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Serve hot over your favorite basmati rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a dollop of plain yogurt (optional) for a more authentic Indian-style presentation.
- Enjoy!
