Ingredients:

1/2 tsp. fenugreek seeds
1 to 2 dried red chilies, chopped
3 oz. unroasted shelled split cashews
3 oz. whole green beans, cut in 1-inch pieces
15 fl. oz. water
12 oz. cauliflower, cut in florets
1 tsp. salt
1-1/2 oz. ghee or unsalted butter
1 onion, finely chopped
1 tsp. turmeric
1-1/2 tbsp. coconut milk powder
6 fl. oz. hot water
1/2 tsp. tamarind concentrate or 1 tbsp. lime juice

Directions:

Heat the oil in a small saucepan over a low heat and fry the fenugreek and chilies until they are just a shade darker. Remove from the heat and cool. Crush with a pestle and mortar to make a paste, using the oil in which they were fried.

Put the cashews and green beans in a saucepan with the water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat, cover and cook for 5 minutes. Add the cauliflower and salt. Cover and cook for a further 5 minutes. Add the crushed spice paste and stir well. Remove from the heat.

In a separate pan, heat the ghee or butter over a medium heat and fry the onions until they are a pale golden colour, 6 to 7 minutes. Stir in the turmeric and fry for 1 minute. Stir this into the vegetables along with all the ghee or butter. Blend the coconut milk powder with the hot water and add to the vegetables. Return to the heat and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the tamarind and stir gently until dissolved. Cook gently without a lid for 5 to 6 minutes. If using lime juice, add now and remove from the heat and serve.
