Directions

  1. Ideally this curry would be served with an onion kuluha (naan stuffed with freshly diced onion). The onion pitas are a tasty substitute. An onion dinner roll would also work.
  2. Vegetable Stew with Bruschetta," in Sam Gugino's Cooking to Beat the Clock
  3. (1998). Our version changes the proportions of vegetables and spice and makes more sauce.
  4. Fit a food processor with the slicing attachment (1/4-inch; 2mm).
  5. Put 2 Tbsp. of oil in a large, deep, heavy Dutch oven or possibly stock pot. Apply medium-low heat.
  6. Prepare the vegetables so which they may be sliced through the smaller chute of the food processor.
  7. SWEET POTATO - Peel the potato and halve lengthwise; cut each half into pcs which fit the chute of the food processor. Slice and transfer to the skillet; stir to coat with oil. Increase heat to medium and stir occasionally while preparing the other vegetables.
  8. ONIONS - Cut a thin slice from the top and bottom, halve lengthwise, and peel each half. Cut once crosswise. Slice. Leave in the bowl.
  9. ZUCCHINI - trim the ends; cut to fit the chute and slice.
  10. Add in curry pwdr to the potatoes; stir to combine and cook till aromatic (30 seconds).
  11. Add in the onion and zucchini to the pot. Stir well and continue cooking.
  12. BELL PEPPER - Cut the top and bottom; core the pepper. Then cut the pepper into long thin strips.
  13. Add in the bell pepper and hearty vegetable stock to the pot: stir, cover, and bring to a boil over high heat.
  14. Meanwhile, thaw the lima beans under running water; trim the green beans. Add in both beans to the pot. Crush the saffron threads with your fingers over the stew and season with salt, pepper and butter buds, to taste. Cook (high simmer) covered for 7 min, stirring periodically, till the beans are just tender. Make the slurry of cornstarch and as little water as possible. Thicken the sauce.
  15. While the stew cooks, prepare bread. Cut bread in half to open pocket.
  16. Mix yogurt, healthy pinch of salt and the sweet onion. Divide this mix proportionately into each pocket. Put pitas on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 for about 5 to 7 min.

  19. NOTES : PANTRY: We tested this recipe with 2 Tbsp. of Sharwood's Warm
  20. (Madras) Curry Pwdr and 1 Tbsp. spice blend recommended for vegetables, called paubhaji masala. The butter buds were added to compensate somewhat for the missing ghee.
