This is a classic Indian potato-based vegetable curry that, typically, is served for breakfast.

Ingredients:

3 tbsp vegetable oil
2 onions, chopped
1 tbsp freshly-grated ginger
2 garlic cloves, chopped
3 hot green chillies, chopped
1 tsp turmeric powder
1 tbsp ground coriander
1 tbsp paprika
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp ground fenugreek seeds
1/4 tsp freshly-ground black pepper
2 tbsp lemon juice
500g potatoes, cubed
3 carrots, sliced
120g French (green) beans trimmed into 3cm lengths
1 tsp salt
420g tinned, chopped, tomatoes (with juice)

Method:

Heat the oil in a deep pan or wok then add the onions, ginger, garlic and chillies. Fry until the onions begin to turn a golden brown (about 8 minutes). In the meantime, combine the turmeric, coriander seeds, paprika, cayenne pepper, fenugreek and black pepper in a bowl then add the lemon juice and just enough water to form a smooth paste.

When the onions have begun to brown stir-in the spice paste and fry for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally (add a few tbsps of water if the mixture looks as if it's becoming too dry). Now add the vegetables to the pan and fry for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.

At this stage add the tomatoes and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil then reduce to a low simmer, cover the pan and cook for about 25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Transfer to a warmed serving dish and serve.

This dish can either be served with Puri as a traditional breakfast or it can be served over boiled rice or noodles as a main dish.
