Ingredients

1 teaspoon canola oil
1/2 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 jalapeno, chopped
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 cup coconut milk, or more to taste
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
2 carrots, chopped
1 medium potato, peeled and chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 cup cauliflower florets, broken into bite size pieces

Directions

1 Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and jalapeno peppers and cook until onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in coriander, garam masala, cumin, paprika, and salt; saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour tomato sauce into the pan and simmer until thickened, about 15 minutes.
2 Add coconut milk and maple syrup and heat until warm. Taste sauce, adding more coconut milk or spices needed.
3 Add carrots, potato, bell pepper, and cauliflower florets to sauce; toss well to coat. Cover, and simmer until vegetables are crisp, but fork-tender, about 10 minutes. Serve hot.
