2 tablespoons grated ginger root

1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin

1 pound Roma tomatoes (about 5) -- coarsely chopped

1 tablespoon sesame seeds -- toasted, ground to a powder, and

thoroughly mixed w/ 2 tablespoons water

3 tablespoons unsalted raw cashew halves -- ground to a coarse powder

in a blender or food processor

1 1/2 cups water

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro

1/2 pound all-purpose potatoes (about 2 medium) -- peeled or

unpeeled, cut into 1-inch cubes

1/2 pound sweet potatoes (about 2 cups) -- peeled, and cut into

1-inch cubes

1/2 pound cauliflower (1/2 medium head) -- cut into small florets

1 pound eggplany (1small) -- unpeeled, cut into 1-inch cubes

1/2 pound kohlrabi or turnip (about 2 cups) -- scraped to remove

root hairs, cut into 1-inch cubes

1 large red bell pepper -- seeds and inner ribs removed,

coarsely chopped

1/2 cup fresh or thawed frozen peas

hard-boiled egg slices or toasted cashew

halves for garnish

 

In hot oil in a 12-inch steep-sided skillet, saute garlic and gingerroot until

garlic is golden, about 1 minute. Add turmeric and cumin and stir until evenly

distributed. Add tomatoes, jalapeno, sesame paste, ground cashews, water, and

salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, 8 to 10 minutes, or

until the tomatoes have broken down. With the back of a spoon, mash those that

still hold their shape.

Add cilantro, potatoes, sweet potatoes, cauliflowe, eggplant, kohlrabi, bell

pepper, and fresh peas. Simmer, covered, 20 to 25 minutes, or until the

vegetables are tender. If using thawed frozen peas, add them now and cook for

another 1 to 2 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning. Remove from heat and

garnish with egg slices or cashew halves.
