I love to make a spicy potato and cauliflower dish called Aloo Goobi, I pre blanch my potatoes and cauliflower together and then saute fresh ginger, garlic, onions and a ground seed mix or just plain old curry powder and when that is fragrant, add some chopped fresh tomato and then the potatoes and cauliflower back and saute for 2 minutes a bit of water and then place lid on, simmer for 10 minutes and serve with chopped coriander and soya yougart with more fine chopped fresh ginger!. I also like to make a chickpea dish called Channa Dal all veggie and vegan suitable are both these dishes, I used to use veg ghee but it is to expensive now!.
You can add fresh chilis or dried in the first stages, but the longer you cook them the hotter they can get, so either add them later or take out the seed, but if you like hot food then whole and lots!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
