Our version of this curry, a favorite combination of vegetables in India, unites cumin, coriander, turmeric, and red-pepper flakes. Fresh cilantro provides an herbal note. Serve the curry as a generous side dish or with rice for a meatless main dish. Plus: Global Recipe Guide
How to Make It
In a large deep frying pan, heat the oil over moderate heat. Add the coriander, cumin, turmeric, and red-pepper flakes and stir. Add the cauliflower and potatoes and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables start to soften, about 5 minutes.
Add the tomatoes, 1/4 cup of the cilantro, the water, and the salt. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat to low, and cook, covered, until the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in the peas and the remaining 1/4 cup cilantro and cook, covered, until the peas are tender, about 2 minutes longer.
Notes
Variation If you like, you can add three tablespoons dried unsweetened coconut to the curry. Put it in at the same time as the peas.

Review Body: This was excellent. I made it oil free. I served it on basmati rice, topped it with an oil free sweet potato, red lentil dahl pureeing half the dahl (from the NYT) for a thick sauce and topped all of that with a spicy cilantro chutney - amazing.

Review Body: If you don't parboil your potatoes beforehand, you will end up with half-raw potatoes and overcooked cauliflower. The recipe also does not call for enough salt - the dish is bland if one uses the amount of salt specified (although I did use three fresh tomatoes instead of the canned crushed ones - so maybe difference in salt is due to that). Overall, the recipe idea was good, but needs a few tweaks.

Review Body: are the potatoes already supposed to be boiled before adding it to the cauliflower?
