Comments
As usual we did not have all the ingredients. We used potatoes, cauliflower, eggplant, chickpeas, sweet potatoes, and green beans.
Especially nice to have with the yogurt, relish and chutneys.

Cilantro-Mint Chutney: Blenderize 1 tblsp. lemon, 1 jalapeno, seeded and minced, ½ cup fresh mint, ½ cup cilantro, 2 tblsp. yogurt, 21/2 tsp. minced ginger.

Onion relish: 1 cup sweet onion, finely chopped, ½ tsp. sweet paprika
1 tblsp. lime juice, ½ tsp. sugar, pinch cayenne, 1/8 tsp. salt.
