  1. Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat and add fennel or cumin seeds, cloves, cinnamon and cardamom. Fry until they sizzle and release aroma. 

  2. Add onion, sauté until golden. Stir in garlic, ginger, ground coriander, chilli powder and garam masala. Fry for about 30 seconds.

  3. Add vegetables, tomato puree and salt. Cook until vegetables begin to soften. Add ½ a cup of hot water if necessary to prevent vegetables sticking to the bottom of the pan. Mix in ground cashew nuts, cover and cook on medium-low heat, stirring often, until vegetables are tender.   

  4. Garnish with coriander leaves. Remove whole spices before serving.

Serve with Indian flat breads or wholemeal Lebanese bread.

Variation: 

  • Use mushrooms, red capsicum or zucchini instead of cauliflower.
