  • ½ large onion, diced
  • 2 teaspoons grated ginger
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 jalapeño, minced
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon Indian hot chili powder
  • 1½ tablespoons yellow curry powder
  • Seeds from 4 green cardamom pods, freshly ground (about ½ teaspoon)
  • 1 teaspoon dried fenugreek leaves (kasuri methi), crushed, or ¼ teaspoon fenugreek powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, cubed
  • 3 carrots, diced
  • ½ cup ground cashews

  • 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed HA
  • 1 (15-ounce) can coconut cream HA
  • ½ cup chopped cilantro
  • Cooked basmati rice, for serving HA

Directions

  1. Sauté the onion in a large pot over medium heat until softened. Add the ginger and garlic and cook until fragrant.
  2. Stir in the jalapeño, turmeric, paprika, chili powder, curry powder, freshly ground cardamom and salt. If using fenugreek powder, add it now. Cook for 1–2 minutes to bloom the spices.
  3. Add the potatoes, carrots, ground cashews, tomato sauce, sugar and water. Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes.
  4. Add the cauliflower, peas, chickpeas and coconut cream. Simmer for about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until all the vegetables are tender and the sauce is creamy.
  5. If using dried fenugreek leaves, crush them between your palms and stir them in with the cilantro. Adjust the seasoning and serve over basmati rice.
