14. Vegetable stir fry with spices




















A recipe from Bangladesh (locally called Banda kopir tarkari as opposed to stir fry blah blah blah). I get it from "The world in Your Kitchen - Vegetarian recipes from Africa, Asia and Latin America..." by Troth Wells. It is a book published by The New Internationalist.

1/2 tsp tumeric
1/2 lb potatoes chopped into small cubes
1 onion finely chopped
1 bat leaf
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp chili powder
4 tomatoes chopped
1 cup cabbage finely sliced
1/2 cup peas
oil
salt

heat oil and put in tumeric and salt. Add potatoes and stir so they are evenly covered with tumeric. Cook for 5 - 10 minutes and then remove potatoes and set aside (they'll finish cooking later on)
Adding more oil if needed saute onion until soft. Add bay leaf, cumin, ginger and chili powder. Stir well and put in tomatoes. When they have begun to break down, add the cabbage bit by bit stirring it no well. Cover and cook gently for 3-5 minutes.
Finally put in peas and half cooked potatoes. Mix well. Cover and cook until potatoes are ready
