1 pound new potatoes -- halved, quartered

or cut into wedges

1/2 head cauliflower -- broken into florets

2 medium-size carrots -- sliced 2 inches

thick

1 medium-size onion -- cubed

1 recipe Tandoori Marinade (see below)

Raita sauce (plain yogurt with chopped -- cilantro, mint

pepper to taste) for dipping -- if desired

TANDOORI MARINADE:

1 cup plain yogurt

2 garlic cloves -- minced

1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon ground coriander

1 teaspoon salt

3/4 teaspoon garam masala (available at Indian

groceries and farmers

markets)

1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper

1 tsp. minced fresh ginger

 

Bring a medium-size pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes

and boil for 3 minutes. Add the cauliflower to the potatoes and boil for 3

minutes. Add the carrots to the potatoes and cauliflower and boil for 2

minutes more.

Drain immediately, plunge into cold water to stop the cooking, and drain again.

Place the vegetables, including the onion, in a large bowl. Add the

marinade and toss to coat. Let stand at room temperature while you prepare the

fire. (Alternately, the marinating vegetables can be refrigerated for up to 12

hours.)

Prepare a medium-hot fire in the grill. Thread the vegetables onto

skewers. Grill the vegetables, turning occasionally, until browned and tender,

about 8 minutes. Serve hot, with raita on the side if desired.

 

MARINADE: Combine the yogurt, garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, salt, garam

masala and

red pepper in a small bowl. Use this marinade with any

vegetable or

combination of vegetables.
