Dear Cancer Project supporter,

Turmeric and other Indian spices are getting more and more attention for their anti-cancer properties. Put them with known cancer-fighting vegetables and you’re in for real health food. For a hotter curry, increase the amount of cayenne.


Directions

Makes 6 servings

1 onion, cut into crescents or chopped
2 medium potatoes, chopped (3 to 4 cups)
1/2 head cauliflower, broken or cut into bite-size florets (3 to 4 cups)
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes, or 1 1/2 cups freshly chopped tomatoes
2 tablespoons apple juice concentrate
1/2 teaspoon salt

Heat 1/2 cup water in a large pot. Add onion and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until onion begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Add potatoes and cauliflower. Continue cooking, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Add water, 1/4 cup at a time, if needed to prevent sticking.

Toast cumin seeds, turmeric, coriander, ginger, cinnamon, and cayenne in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes. Add to vegetables along with tomatoes, apple juice concentrate, and salt. Stir to mix, then cover and simmer until flavors are blended, about 20 minutes.

Variation: For a sweeter curry, add 1/2 cup golden raisins with tomatoes, apple juice concentrate, and salt.
