The vegetables in my jalfrezi were cauliflower, carrot, capsicum, onion and beans. They were cooked down in a base of tomato, vinegar, chili, praprika, garam marsala, cumin seeds and onion seeds.
I went to the local Indian shop and, when I asked for onion seeds, they gave me Nigella seeds. There was much contention in the household as to whether I was us using the right seeds or not but it turns out that the term 'onion seeds' is a little misleading.....not actually the seeds of an onion. I had the right ones.....seeds of a, err....nigella.
I also served some naan, paneer and mint with dinner. It was tasty but I'm sure not ready for a vegetarian lifestyle quite yet.

I must let Biggs know that meat makes an excellent substitute for cauliflower. This dinner was pretty good though.
