TASTE OF INDIA ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES

Taste of India Roasted Root Vegetables image

Though not a traditional Indian dish, since there is no sauce, the spices used on these roasted vegetables may remind you of Indian flavors. Your favorite recipe for tikka masala would be nice to serve with this, along with some white rice and naan. Dial back the heat, if you like, or bring it, with an extra dash or two of cayenne--your choice!

ROASTED INDIAN-SPICED VEGETABLES

Roasted Indian-Spiced Vegetables image

These Indian-inspired roasted vegetables have a pop of flavor and a hint of heat from the aromatic and well-known Indian spice blend, garam masala. If you cannot find garam masala in the international section of your grocery store or ethnic market, there are many recipes available online to make your own.

INDIAN ROOT VEGETABLES

Indian Root Vegetables image

Looking at several root vegetables milling around the kitchen, I came up with this recipe that spices up these veggies with typical Indian spices and a few other fun additions. Tomatoes help make a pseudo-gravy. Serve with basmati rice. Reduce number of red peppers to reduce heat-spice, if you can't hack it.
