Kadai Vegetable
Indian cuisine is rich with vegetarian curries. But sometimes you get so used to making the
same old sambar and rice it is an effort to break away and embrace variety. Also, when you
try to incorporate different cuisine there is only so much one can make and eat, right?
Everything said and done, today I decided it was about time to spin something different and
put together a vegetable curry.

The subject of gravies as far as I can see can be contented. What goes into a korma as against
a kadai? A korma can have cashews and cream while a 'kadai' will not. And if you are from
the South of India then you probably make the korma with coconut gravy. Therefore, if one
of you feel that this recipe has too many cashews for a kadai curry you are probably right.
But I like a rich gravy and added a generous portion.

Onions 1/2 of one large onion
For Gravy:
Cashew nuts - 25
Dry Chili - 6
Onions - 1/2 chopped fine
Ginger - 1/2 inch piece chopped fine
Garlic - 5 or 6 pods chopped fine
Tomato - 1 medium
Chili Powder - 1/2 tspn
Turmeric - 1/2 tspn
Coriander Powder - 2 tspn heaped
Kasturi Methi - 1 pinch
Tamarind - 1 marble size ball soaked in about 1/2 cup water
Oil - 2 - 3 Tbspn
Method:
Preparing the Vegetables:
1. Boil about a cup of water and slide in the carrots and beans. When they are tender and yet
crisp remove using a slotted spoon from the broth and set aside. Reserve broth for later.
2. Line a cookie sheet and place the capsicum, onions and tomato and broil on hi for about
15 minutes. Alternately, in a skillet heat about a teaspoon of oil and on high saute onions,
tomato and capsicum one at a time till the edges of the vegetables are browned. Remember
to keep all the vegetables crisp, never over cooked.
For Gravy:
1.Fry cashews in a tablespoon of oil until golden brown and spoon it out to cool
2. In the same oil fry the dry chilies making sure you don't burn it. You will get a distinct
smell of fried chilies when you can slot it out to join the cashews.
3. Add another tablespoon of oil to the pan, and saute ginger, garlic and onions till onions
are golden brown.

4. Add turmeric, chili and coriander powder and saute until the fresh smell of coriander
turns aromatic.
5. Add tomato and saute until all of the tomato blends in to a pulp.
6. Cool this mixture and make a paste using a blender.
7. Bring it back into the same pan and cook until oil clears the pan.
8. Add tamarind juice and salt to taste. Add the vegetable broth to adjust the consistency of
the gray. Make sure to use only as much tamarind juice as you need.
9. Powder kasturi methi between your palms and add to the gravy.
10. Once the mixture boils add all the vegetables, mix and let it heat through.
11. Serve hot with rotis or jeera rice.
Notes:
1. Peas, cauliflower and mushrooms go well for this curry. I have just used what I had on
hand but if you are making for a party you will definitely want to add these vegetables like
most restaurants serve.
