Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and saute for about 3 minutes, until translucent.
• Add the garlic and saute for about 2 minutes, until fragrant.

• Add the potatoes and mix well until well-coated in spices.
• Add the chickpeas and stir to incorporate.
• Add the broth, lemon juice, and tomatoes and stir, then pour in the coconut milk and stir to combine.
• Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a simmer. Once bubbling, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 15-20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
• Serve with cooked rice and naan and garnish with fresh cilantro.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; saute onion until tender, 2-4 minutes. Add garlic, ginger and dry seasonings; cook and stir 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes; transfer to a 3- or 4-qt. slow cooker., Stir in chickpeas, potato and stock. Cook, covered, on low until potato is tender and flavors are blended, 6-8 hours., Stir in lime juice; sprinkle with cilantro. Serve with rice and, if desired, red onion and lime wedges.

Steps:

• In a large nonstick frying pan put the oil, mustard seeds, urad dal, cumin seeds and red chili pieces (add more or less depending on how spicy you want the curry). Heat over high heat until the mustard seeds have popped a bit and the urad dal is light brown.
• Reduce heat to medium and quickly stir in the turmeric, hing and curry leaves.
• Add the potatoes, cauliflower, salt and water. Stir to blend. (Make sure that the potatoes and cauliflower pieces aren't too small or they will overcook.).
• Cover and cook for 8 minutes. Remove cover and check to see if the vegetables are almost done. A lot of people like to add tomato to this curry and if so, you can add diced tomato here, but you won't be able to brown the potatoes and cauliflower if you do that, so it is up to your own taste whether or not to add this option.
• Turn heat to high for about 4 minutes. Evaporate any remaining liquid and lightly brown the potatoes and cauliflower, flipping them over occasionally with a spachula. By making sure that a few of the vegetables lightly brown, you will end up with a much more flavorful curry.
• Turn off heat and stir in the peas (optional). Check for salt. Garnish with cilantro.
• Optional: Add 1 teaspoons sambar powder to the curry the last couple of minutes. Variations: A.) Replace the cauliflower with fresh green beans and eliminate the peas; B.) Replace the cauliflower with 1/2 head of a large cabbage that you have finely diced (peas are good with this but optional). I sometimes reduce the dried red chili to one and add 1 teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper--more of a style from the state of Kerala; C.) Make it a mixed vegetable curry adding to the potatoes 1 finely minced carrot, 2 cups fresh green beans, and using the peas; D.) Another mixed vegetable curry would reduce the potatoes to two, add the carrot, green beans, about six largish cauliflower florets, and the peas. I don't like to add peas too early to any recipe, as they become over cooked. Turn off the heat and stir in frozen peas at the end, and the heat will defrost the peas in just a few minutes.

Steps:

• Pour the oil into a medium pan and set over medium-high heat. When hot, put in the mustard seeds, urad dal, and red chilies. As soon as the mustard seeds begin to pop, a matter of seconds, put in the curry leaves and onions. Turn heat to medium. Stir and fry the onions for about 3 minutes or until they have softened but not browned. Put in the tomatoes, coriander, cayenne, and garam masala. Stir for a minute. Add the potatoes and stir a minute. Now pour in 1 cup water and the salt. Bring to a boil. Cover, turn heat to low, and cook 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Add the coconut milk and cilantro and stir them in.

Steps:

• Heat ghee in large saucepan and fry mustard seed until it pops.
• Add onion, fresh coriander, turmeric, chili powder, paprika and salt.
• Mix well and then stir in the potatoes.
• Stir for a few minutes, sprinkle with about 1/2 cup of water, turn heat very low, cover and cook for 25-20 minutes or until potatoes are done.
• Shake saucepan occasionally to prevent sticking.
• Add garam masala and lemon juice about 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time.
