--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2 1/2   c            Cubed new potatoes
  1       sm           Cauliflower
  2       ts           Black mustard seeds
 12                    To 15 fenugreek seeds
  1       t            Freshly ground cumin seeds
    1/2   ts           Turmeric
    1/2   ts           Powdered hot red chile
                       -pepper
                       Salt
  6       tb           Peanut oil
  2       tb           Minced garlic
  1                    Tomato, chopped
  1                    Or 2 fresh Serrano chiles,
                       -chopped
  1       c            Chopped cilantro leaves
  1       tb           Lemon juice, or to taste

 Peel potatoes and cut into 1/2- inch cubes; place in a
 bowl of water. Separate cauliflower into flowerets
 about the same size as the potato cubes.  Set aside.

 Mix mustard with fenugreek in a small bowl.  Mix
 ground spices together in a small bowl, and add some
 salt.  Place all ingredients near the stove.

 Heat oil in a pan until very hot.  Add whole seeds all
 at once, keeping face away from pan.  Have a lid ready
 to cover pan, if needed. As mustard seeds turn gray,
 lower neat to medium and add ground spices. Cook for 1
 or 2 seconds, then stir in garlic, then tomato and
 green chiles. Cook for about 5 minutes.

 Drain potatoes and add to pan, along with cauliflower;
 cook for 5 minutes, stirring to coat vegetables with
 spices.  Add 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup cilantro.
 Cover and simmer until vegetables are tender. Check
 water level frequently, and add more as needed.

 Taste for salt, add lemon juice, stir well, and serve
 garnished with remaining cilantro.
