Steps:
- Puree the garlic and ginger in a small food processor (mini-chopper), into a paste. Set aside.
- Heat the butter in a Dutch oven or soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the cinnamon and bay leaf, garlic-ginger paste, curry powder and cook, stirring, until lightly browned and fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomato and yogurt and cook, stirring, until they separate from the oil and there is a distinctive sizzling sound, as the sauce "fries" in the oil, about 7 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring, for about 1 minute more.
- Add the water, salt, and vegetables and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, about 10 to 12 minutes. Add the chickpeas, bring to a boil, and cook, uncovered, until the vegetables are tender and the liquid thickens, about 5 minutes more. Season the curry with salt and pepper, to taste, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve with basmati rice and chutney.

Steps:
- Heat a large, heavy pot over medium-high heat; swirl in oil. Cook onions, stirring occasionally, until just softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in curry paste, squash, and carrots; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
- Add coconut milks. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are fork-tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Add peppers and cook until just beginning to soften, about 4 minutes. Season with salt. Reserve half of curry for next day; serve remainder over rice with tomatoes and basil.
Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables: The more vegetables you use, the more flavorful and nutritious your curry will be. Try to include a mix of root vegetables, leafy greens, and cruciferous vegetables.
- Roast the vegetables before adding them to the curry: Roasting the vegetables will bring out their natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast the vegetables in the oven or on a grill.
- Use a flavorful curry paste or powder: The curry paste or powder is what will give your curry its unique flavor. Choose a curry paste or powder that you enjoy the taste of.
- Add coconut milk or yogurt for a creamy texture: Coconut milk or yogurt will help to thicken the curry and give it a creamy texture. You can also use a combination of coconut milk and yogurt.
- Serve the curry with rice or naan bread: Curry is traditionally served with rice or naan bread. Rice is a good option if you want a light meal, while naan bread is a good option if you want a more filling meal.
Conclusion:
Winter vegetable curry is a delicious and nutritious meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. With its variety of vegetables, flavorful curry paste or powder, and creamy texture, this curry is sure to please everyone at your table.
