The cover art, and the back cover art, in particular are awesome. Hrm. I would leave out the canned chickpeas. I really don't think they would go so well. The other veggies are fine--they will taste very good together. You could add some carrots for sweetness if you liked, though. And yes, it is best to make your own garam masala. I do have one Penzey's curry powder--hot Asian curry powder for the making of Singapore noodles. But I don't like the taste of curries made with curry powder at all! (But, oddly, I like the taste of curry powder in scrambled eggs! Go figure.) I always make my own garam masala, and it has the best flavor. If you are not going to make your own, the Penzey's Punjabi Garam Masala has a nice flavor and aroma--much nicer than McCormics. Thank you for your kind words, Sue!

In this particular recipe, the vegetables (not aromatics) are potatoes, cauliflower, canned chickpeas, and frozen peas. They also suggest using Pensey's Sweet Curry Powder and McCormick's Garam Masla. Isn't it better to make your own Garam Masala? I really appreciate your recipes. They are so kick-ass.

My view on their ethnic recipes is not to follow them at all, because they are not generally very well done. (They were better in the past, but recent issues have been very bad for the way they handle ethnic recipes, especially Asian ones.) What vegetables do they suggest you use? Let me know, and I will see if I suggest something better for you. Sue–I have sworn off CI.

Well, you had three bad things happen in a row. You should be safe for a few months now! Have you had a chance to look at Cook's Illustrated June 2007? The vegetables in the vegetable curry seem sort of blah. Any suggestions for subs? Have a good Sunday. Dear Barbara,
