We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: In a lrg frying pan, heat oil until hot over med-high heat. Stir in onion, cloves, cinnamon, cardamom + bay leaves & cook till onion begins to brown (See NOTE below).

  • Step 2: Stir in garlic, gingerroot + curry powder & cook till flavors are released (I assume aroma is the test of this point).

  • Step 3: Add tomatoes & cook for 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low, stir in potatoes & continue cooking until potatoes are partially cooked.

  • Step 4: Stir in carrot, cauliflower, eggplant + coconut milk & simmer till vegetables are tender, stirring occ.

  • Step 5: Remove whole spices & bay leaves. Stir in peas, season to taste w/salt, stir in the cilantro & serve immediately.

  • NOTE: Altho not mentioned in the recipe, stirring in the whole spices + bay leaves & then removing them as above seems like a big challenge unless they are introduced to the dish in 1 of those porous spice cooking bags
