1 tablespoon turmeric powder

preparation
Instructions
1. In a large tilt skillet or steam kettle, heat olive oil on medium-high heat. Add diced onions, coriander, paprika, black pepper, granulated garlic, and turmeric. Sauté all ingredients for 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, cover, and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in tomato paste and cook for another 5 minutes. Pour in the hot water, bring to a boil, and then reduce heat to medium.
2. Stir in green beans and cook for 5 minutes. Add peppers, julienned onions, and potatoes. Cover and cook until a knife inserts easily into the potatoes, approximately 5 to 6 minutes.
Stir in garbanzo beans and cilantro. Heat for 5 more minutes. Serve the vegetable korma on its own or with prepared basmati rice and naan bread.
Notes
This recipe uses fresh vegetables. To potentially reduce the cost per serving, frozen vegetables can be substituted if that is what is available in the kitchen.
