Slightly Spicy Vegetable Curry

Like all curries, this one is spicy for those that can't handle any spicy food. However, if you love hot spicy food this one may be a little mild, but you can spice it up even hotter by adding additional cayenne pepper to it. This is wonderful serve with Nans and Dahl. Try adding different vegetables or omit any that you don't happen to care for. Another recipe by one of the Micheff Sisters, Brenda Walsh.
