Veg Korma

I dunno;  I only think this is OK.  Maria liked it.  I want to keep looking for other recipes.

Original recipe:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCwJ5SCD1B4

I've typed it out below with a modification that lets me cook the vegetable in the sauce instead of separately (which I think is better for nutrients).

Gravy

3-4 Tbsp oil on high flame
1/2 tsp asafoeteda powsder
1 tsp ginger paste
1/4 C cashew nuts

saute 1 min

Add 500g roughly chopped tomato

1.5 tsp coriander powder
1/2 tsp turmeric
2 tsp chili powder
1.5 tsp cumin powder
2 tsp salt or to taste
1/4 c grated coconut.

mix well.  Add 1/4 c water.  mix well.

Bring to simmer, lower to low heat and let cook, covered, for 5 min.

Remove from heat and let cool.  Blend into smooth paste.

----------------------------
Different pan:  On high.  1-2 Tbsp oil.

2 cinnamon sticks, 2 bay leaves, 3 whole red chilies, 1 spring curry leaves.

Saute 1 min.

Add tomato gravy from earlier. + 1/2 C water.

Stir until boiling (1-2 min).  Lower head and simmer, covered, for 4 min.

Add 1/4 C water + Add 1 C peas.
1 med carrot chopped
1 large diced potato
Chopped french beans.

1/2 C water, mix well on high flame until boil (1-2min).  Simmer on low, covered, for 2 min.

Add 1/4 C whisked yogurt.  Mix well on high flame.  Let cook 6 min, covered, on low heat.

At this point I tried the vegies and cooked them for 4 more minutes with a gap in the lid to reduce the liquid a bit.

1 tsp garam masala at end + more fresh coriander.
