Dry Roasted Cauliflower Curry
Cauliflower can be such a tough vegetable to get right in a curry. For so long it seemed like no matter how little or how long I cooked cauliflower, and no matter when I added salt to the dish, my cauliflower florets by the time the curry was done were small crumbly pieces of mush. The cauliflower curry tasted great, but didn’t always look great. I just couldn’t figure out how to get a dry cauliflower curry that looked good,
Then it occurred to me one day that roasting vegetables always cooked vegetables “al-dente” – firm outside yet tender inside. So I thought why not try roasting cauliflower florets first before making them into a curry. I roasted cauliflower and then added onions, garlic and all the spices. What I ended up with was a beautiful golden colored cauliflower curry that looked and tasted great. Here is the recipe.

Purple Potato, Pepper & Baby Turnips Curry
My friend Pallavi made this outstanding Indian curry with purple potatoes, peppers and baby turnips when we went to her and her husband Parag’s place for dinner one Saturday evening. This combination of vegetables was very unusual for me, but as I found out it wasn’t a veggie combination that Pallavi makes often either. Pallavi explained that she had just picked up these vegetables from the Farmer’s Market and decided to use this rather unusual combination of veggies as the inspiration for her very delicious North Indian spiced curry. Here is the recipe. Continue reading Purple Potato, Pepper & Baby Turnips Curry
Haricot Verts with Cumin Seeds, Asafoetida and Turmeric
This is my all time favorite way to have haricot vert beans – lightly seasoned and cooked to perfection. If you are looking for a unique way to serve green beans, this is the recipe to try.
Haricot vert beans also known as French green beans tend to be skinnier than the regular green beans, and because of this, they cook faster and taste fresh even after being lightly sautéed with spices. Hericot vert green beans are so tender that they taste amazing when they are cut into tiny pieces allowing the delicate flavors from the interior of the green beans to come through.
