Vegetables Masala

Directions

1. Place a large pot (that can be covered) over medium heat and add olive oil. Add onions and cook until they begin to brown, about 5 minutes.

2. Add garlic and red pepper and cook for about a minute. Add cumin seed, ground cumin, coriander, cinnamon, cardamom seed and cayenne, cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add new potatoes, sweet potatoes and 1 1/2 cups of water. Cover and let simmer for 10 minutes.

3. Add chick peas, tomatoes, and carrots. Stir and bring to simmer. Reduce to low heat, stirring occasionally. Add an additional 1/2 cup of water if needed. Cook until carrots and potatoes are tender, about 30-35 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.

4. Stir in yogurt and cilantro before serving. Serve over rice or noodles.
