ALOO GOBI MATTAR - CAULIFLOWER, PEA AND POTATO CURRY
Why choose between aloo gobi and aloo mattar when you can have both? This is a really tasty dish adapted from the Aloo Gobi recipe at Route79.com - It's a great alternative if you're interested in sneaking some more green vegetables (in this case, peas) into your curry! Traditionally this kind of dish is made in a karahi, but a wok or large nonstick pan with cover works. I highly recommend using ghee for the best flavor. Gluten-free, soy-free and dairy-free. Serve basmati rice and chapati or naan.

GROUND TURKEY, SWEET POTATO & PEA CURRY
This recipe was somewhat inspired by Banriona's Recipe #408979, which I thought was a great Americanized twist on a classic Lebanese recipe. In the same vein, this is like a flavorful Indian curry crossed with a traditional stew. No rice or naan needed, as it's very filling. Perfect for a cold winter night!

Steps:
- Cut potatoes into 1/2-inch dice. Place in a bowl and rinse with cold running water until water runs clear, to remove excess starch. Heat 1/4 cup clarified butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Saute onions until brown. At same time, heat remaining clarified butter in a large skillet over moderate heat. Fry potatoes until golden and add Sauteed onions. Add garlic and ginger, and cook just long enough to release their aromas. Remove from heat and add cumin, turmeric, coriander, and pepper flakes. Return pan to moderate heat and cook 12 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in tomatoes, water, and salt. Simmer, uncovered, until potatoes are soft, about 15 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and cook until peas are heated through. Adjust seasonings and serve immediately with basmati rice and assorted chutneys and raita.
Tips:
- For a smoother curry, blend the peas and tomatoes before adding them to the pot.
- If you don't have coconut milk, you can substitute it with yogurt or cream.
- To make the curry even more flavorful, add a teaspoon of garam masala or curry powder.
- Serve the curry with rice, roti, or naan.
- For a vegan version of the curry, omit the ghee and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
