Praise then darkness, and creation unfinished

switterbeet mentioned this recipe recently, and I read it and decided to give it a try, since it calls for garam masala, ginger, and garlic, but no hot peppers, and looked fairly easy.

I made it this evening, serving it over rice instead of sweet potatoes, and adrian_turtle, cattitude, and I were all quite pleased. Adrian was a little surprised that it contains coconut milk, which makes it very nice and creamy (and different from what we're used to seeing in Indian restaurants).

I left out the cilantro, and used olive oil instead of coconut oil, which worked quite well. (I suspect canola or a similar neutral-flavored oil would also be fine.) I also used slightly less coconut milk than it calls for, that being what I had, and might use slightly less next time.

I'll be making this again, which is why I'm posting this. It's vegan; that isn't an issue for the three of us, but I'm glad to add to my small repertoire of vegan meals that I like and hence am comfortable serving to guests.
