Vegetables in a Curry Sauce

Friday night was Indian night for dinner.  Any real fans of Indian food will know you don’t pair curried vegetables with tandoori salmon.  But why not eat what you enjoy and the flavors of India are so good.  Now Indian dishes can take a long time to prepare but there are some big shortcuts one can take to capture the essence of the wonderful flavors.  I did that with this dish by simply combining curry and turmeric with coconut milk.

 The curry spiced coconut mix is prepared while the vegetables get a little grill on them.  The curry sauce is added for the last 10 minutes of  cooking to soften the vegetables and to add the richness of the flavors.
