Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil with 1 teaspoon salt. Add potatoes, boil until easily pierced with a fork, about 10 minutes. Transfer potatoes to a strainer using a slotted spoon, rinse with cold water. Add cauliflower to boiling water, cook until easily pierced with a fork, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer cauliflower to strainer using slotted spoon, rinse with cold water. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking liquid.

  2. Combine 3 tablespoons water, curry powder, coriander, cayenne, and saffron in a small bowl until paste forms. Let curry paste stand until flavors blend, about 10 minutes.

  3. Heat ghee in a stockpot over medium heat. Add cumin seeds, cook and stir until seeds begin to pop. Add onion and remaining 1 teaspoon salt, cook and stir until onions begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add curry paste, cook and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes more. Add lemon juice, reserved cooking liquid, potatoes, cauliflower, and garbanzo beans, stir well to combine.

  4. Stir green peas, coconut milk, and cilantro into potato-cauliflower mixture, simmer until vegetables are heated through and mixture has thickened slightly, about 10 minutes.

Recipe Note

I took my favorite parts of several different recipes to come up with this rich and flavorful vegetarian curry. I usually serve it with steamed rice, which can cook as the curry comes together. Sometimes I throw a few cardamom pods in when I steam the rice. It adds a great flavor. Don't forget to remove the pods before you serve the rice!
