Indian Spiced Cauliflower, Potatoes and Peas (Gobhi Matar Raseda
This is incredibly delicious, and super healthy. This is adapted from Julie Sahni's "Classic Indian Cooking". It has less salt and oil than the original and less liquid - this dish is traditionally served like a stew, but I like it more saucy. If you prefer a soup, just add 1 more cup of water. To make this a more protein rich vegetarian meal, it's yummy with a can of chickpeas added along with the tomatoes. For the potatoes, use 1 large or 2 small potatoes. You can serve with basmati rice, bread or just inhale it directly from the bowl. This makes 4 main dish portions, or 6-8 as a side dish.
