Heat vegetable oil in a large saucepan. Add the chopped onion, garlic, chilis, bay leaves, ginger, turmeric, garam masala and cumin seeds to the oil.
Stir together and cook until onions become creamy, golden, and translucent.
Add salt and mix well. Stir in the tomatoes. Bring to a simmer.
Add potatoes and cauliflower to the sauce and stir to coat. Cover and simmer for twenty minutes (or until potatoes are cooked).
And I think one way or perhaps two; it doesn’t matter //
as long as one can slip by, and easily //
into the questioning but not miasmal dark. //
Look, here is a stance--- //
shall you cover it, cape it? I //
don’t care he said, going down all those stairs //
makes a boy of you... //
-- John Ashbery, from "From Estuaries, from Casinos" (Hotel Lautréamont 1992)
