Vegetable Madras Curry

This spicy vegetarian Madras curry is comforting and very delicious.  We have used cauliflower and potatoes with tomatoes but mix it up according to the seasons. You can also use this Madras masala with coconut milk if you prefer.  This would be delicious with sweet potato and green beans as an alternative vegan curry option. Mop up the juices with naan bread or roti.  Or make your own easy flatbreads.
