Indian Cauliflower and Kidney Bean Stew With Coconut Milk

Submitted by DailyInspiration

"The cauliflower and potatoes readily absorb the flavors of the spices and other seasonings in this Indian slow cooker dish. Pureeing the onion and spices together before cooking helps to bring out their flavors in the stew. Recipe is from my Fresh From the Vegetarian Slow Cooker cookbook."

This is great! I did make some changes by skipped the allspice (out of) and instead of two potatoes - used one regular potato and 1 sweet potato, black beans instead of kidney beans and chicken broth instead of vegetable broth. So and open to adaptations! Thanks for sharing!
