Ingredients:
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, peeled and sliced into medium-sized slivers
3 medium potatoes and cut into 1/4 inch pieces
4 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 small hot pepper, minced (remove seeds, unless you want a very spicy dish; substitute one teaspoon red pepper flakes or omit if you want a mild dish)
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, peeled and grated
1 teaspoon cumin seed (or 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin)
2 teaspoons turmeric
1 tablespoon garam masala
1 large cauliflower head, chopped
26 ounces diced tomatoes
1 cup water
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped

Heat olive oil in large saucepan or soup pot.
Add the chopped onion, potatoes and cumin seeds to the oil. Cook over medium high heat until onions are translucent. Stir often.
Add garlic, hot pepper, ginger and dried spices.
Add cauliflower and mix well.
Add tomatoes and water. Cover and simmer on medium for about 20 minutes or until the cauliflower and potatoes are tender.
Top with fresh cilantro and serve on a bed of basmati rice with a side of papaya chutney and naan or flatbread.
