Mixed Vegetable Curry Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 inch piece of ginger, grated
• 1 green chili, finely chopped (optional for heat)
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
• 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
• Salt to taste
• 2 cups chopped mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, bell peppers, potatoes, and cauliflower)
• 1 large tomato, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup coconut milk or cream
• Fresh cilantro, chopped for garnish
• 1 cup water or vegetable broth

Instructions:

1. Sauté spices: In a large pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds. Add onions, garlic, ginger, and green chili, cooking until the onions are golden.
2. Cook vegetables: Add all the dry spices (turmeric, coriander, garam masala, red chili powder, and salt). Stir for a minute to mix well. Add the chopped vegetables and tomatoes, stirring to coat them with the spices.
3. Simmer: Add water or broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cover. Let it simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
4. Finish with coconut milk: Add coconut milk or cream, mix well, and cook for another 5 minutes until the curry is creamy and vegetables are completely cooked.
5. Garnish and serve: Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot with rice or naan.
