How to Make Wonderful Veggie Curry

  1. Finely chop 1 medium onion. Gently soften in 1/4 cup water in a small pot over low heat for about 5 minutes.
  2. Set the softened onion aside.
  3. Peel and cube 2 large sweet potatoes (about 1.5 lbs). Steam in a large pot for 10 minutes.
  4. Add 2 large carrots, peeled and chopped, to the steamer. Steam for another 5 minutes.
  5. Add 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into florets, to the steamer. Steam for 5 more minutes.
  6. While the vegetables steam, heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a small frying pan over medium heat.
  7. Add 1 teaspoon mustard seeds and sauté until they begin to pop (about 1 minute).
  8. 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.
  9. Remove the spice mixture from the heat.
  10. Remove the steamed vegetables from the steamer basket. Add the softened onion and stir in the spice mixture.
  11. Add 1 1/2 cups of vegetable broth or water.
  12. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes.
  13. 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.
  14. Simmer for another 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  15. 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.
  16. Enjoy!
