Vegetable Kurma

A friend and colleague, Alex Hettena, shared this with me. I've not tried it yet, but it looks too good to hold onto, thus I'm sharing it now.  I'll have to go out and get coconut powder for this one...

100 grams French beans (green beans)

100 grams carrots

100 grams red bell pepper

1 onion chopped

1 inch piece of ginger chopped

3 cloves of garlic chopped

1 tomato chopped

1 tsp cumin powder

1 Tbsp coconut powder

1 tsp turmeric powder

1 tsp red chili powder

2 tsp coriander powder

¼ tsp cinnamon

¼ tsp clove powder

½ tsp Garam masala

3 Tbsp oil

½ cup water

50 ml milk cream

1. Peel and chop carrots. Chop beans and bell pepper.

2. Heat oil in pan and add cumin, frying for 1 minute.

3. Add onion, ginger, and garlic. Cook until the onion is brown.

4. Add tomato and coconut powder and fry well.

5. Add turmeric and cook for a few seconds.

6. Add vegetables, red chili powder, coriander, cinnamon, clove, garam masala.

7. Add water. Cover pan and cook on low flame until done (~5 min).

8. Add milk cream and mix over the low flame for a little bit longer.

Note: You could leave out the milk cream to keep it vegan.
