  • Eating more vegetables is generally considered a good thing, but can often be boring and uninspired. One of my favorite ways to eat lots of them is Vegetable Korma or Curry. There are countless ways to do it, but this the version I have adapted for my home kitchen.

These veggies are then cooked in the gravy itself for 10-15 minutes. This helps in adding more flavor to the veggies as they take up the flavor of spices used in the sauce. Roasting may also work, I personally haven't tried it but you can give it a go.

Usually, I do this with my arrabiatta sauce, but I'm sure that this would work for stews, pastes and kormas.
      After 24 hours of freezing, you can release the cubes and place them into a bag so that the ice cube trays are left open for more sauces, stews and kormas!

    Tip from an Indian: Sautee the spices(cumin and mustard) first till all the raw aroma disappears and then add onion and chillies. Once the onion browns, add the garlic and ginger and sautee until the raw aroma disappears. Be careful not to burn the garlic ginger paste. Oh, and you'll get different tastes if you add ginger first and garlic second and vice versa. Now add the tomatoes and cook them till they're mushed. Now add the turmeric, coriander powder and chilli powder and saute until the raw smell disappears. Add the vegetables "along with the stock" after this and simmer for 10-15 mins. Enjoy the korma. Indian cooking is all about the sequence and the time it takes to sautee the spices and other ingredients. Oh, always use salt.

Or maybe for which dishes would it be recommened to first sautée the garlic and for which ones the ginger?

    Two things:
    1) A non Indian guy cooking Indian food, with lots of Indian people in the comments - not ripping him to shreds. You come off really well here, India.
    2) Could you oven roast the vegetables before adding them? I'm thinking you might lose some of the taste by boiling and throwing away the water, and I thought that some caramellization might be nice. Or am I off base here?

      You could roast it but its more of a personal preference. The boiled veggies make it soft and easy to consume. It is usually cooked with drumstick (which is a bit fibrous and tough to chew on).

      Depends on how you like your vegetables. Traditionally, for casual home cooking, people do not consider the texture variety - trying to roast some vegetables. Also, the water used for boiling is often reused in thinning the gravy. Much like pasta water.
