COCONUT VEGETABLE CURRY

Steps:

• Heat the vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the cardamom pods, cinnamon stick and clove and cook, stirring, until the whole spices are toasted, about 20 seconds.

Add the coriander, cumin, chili powder and turmeric; cook, stirring and scraping the pan, until the ground spices are toasted, about 30 seconds.
• Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring, until they break down, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in 1 1/4 cups water and the coconut milk. Add the potatoes, eggplant, cauliflower and serrano; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low; cover and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
• Add the green beans and simmer, uncovered, until tender, 5 minutes. Thin the curry with water, if necessary. Discard the serrano and season with salt. Serve with rice and top with cilantro.

Steps:

Bring to a strong simmer, lower the heat to medium, partially cover the pot with a lid (this will prevent splattering) and simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Turn off the heat and stir in the coconut milk. Blend until smooth with an immersion blender or in a regular blender (if using a regular blender, remove the small cap in the lid and cover the top with a kitchen towel to release steam as you blend, then return the sauce to the pot). Add the red bell pepper, zucchini, eggplant, onion and a large pinch of salt to the pot. Stir to combine and set over medium-high heat. Bring to a strong simmer, then lower the heat to medium, partially cover with a lid (this will prevent from splattering) and continue to simmer until the vegetables are tender but not mushy, about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the coconut oil until melted, about 30 seconds. Season to taste with additional salt if needed.
