Mixed Vegetable Masala

Serves 4

This Indian-style stew gets spicier as it sits, so if you prefer milder flavors, serve it immediately.

  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 1 15-oz. can diced tomatoes
  • ½ tsp. cayenne pepper
  • 2 Tbs. canola or vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped (1 cup)
  • 1 small yellow bell pepper, diced (1 cup)
  • 2 medium boiling potatoes, peeled and cubed (1 cup)
  • 2 medium carrots, sliced (1 cup)
  • 1½ tsp. Garam Masala
  • ½ tsp. chili powder
  • 2 cups cauliflower florets (¾ lb.)
  • ½ cup light coconut milk

1. Pulse ginger and garlic in food processor until finely chopped. Add tomatoes with juice and cayenne pepper, and pulse until combined. Set aside.

2. Heat oil in saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper, and sauté 10 minutes, or until softened. Stir in potatoes, carrots, garam masala, and chili powder. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3. Add cauliflower, tomato mixture, and 1/2 cup water. Simmer 20 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in coconut milk. Season with pepper.

Jill, Garam masala is an Indian spice mix. You can buy it (I've found it in my grocery store) or make your own. Google it for recipes.

Garam masala is a spice mix, used in Indian recipes. It has "warm" flavors like clove. You can Google it to find the exact ingredients.

Garam masala from Hindi garam ("hot") and masala ("mixture") is a basic blend of ground spices common in Indian and other South Asian cuisines. It is used alone or with other... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garam_masala - Cached

Recipe is good, but we did not find it spicy at all...even the second day. Is there an ingredient missing from the recipe printed here?

Jill - garam masala is powdered spice that is very common in indian cooking. Garam means "hot" and masala is a general word for "spice". You should be able to find it if you have an Indian grocery store near you. Otherwise, I'd recommend ordering it online because it really is essential in Indian cooking. It's not expensive!

can anyone tell me what garam masala is?

LOVED this meal! I substituted zucchini for the cauliflower (because that's what is in season) and it was fabulous! I'll be making this again!

I found this recipe, made it and then added some dried unsweetened shredded coconut to the recipe during the simmer. It definitely made the dish. I made this dish 2 weeks ago and it was outstanding. I am going to try this dish again and maybe increase the spiciness a bit. I also added some turmeric (1/2 tsp)to the recipe. Gave it a nice color and a even more complex flavor.

basmati rice and naan bread with a yogurt dip would be great sides. When ever I go to an Indian restaurant the meals are always served with these sides and it's wonderful.

I made this recipe last night, and it rocks! The spice blend delivers a healthy kick to the sinuses but is balanced enough to not overwhelm the tongue. This is a winter keeper!

Made this dish tonight. Both fiancée and I found it to be extremely bland. Added more fresh ground pepper and salt. Then to the leftovers added cumin, turmeric and ground chili pepper. Will taste again tomorrow.
