A dear friend from India, Pratima, introduced my family to her cuisine. Some recipes are rather intimidating, but this simple curry is a great start. Our friends are vegetarians and I will say that even after visiting with them for nearly a week, I never missed meat. Everything is so flavorful.

    Heat the oil in a pan. Test the heat by adding one cummin seed to the oil; if seed cracks right away oil is ready. Add hing and cumin seeds to the oil after seeds crack add the bay leaves and green chilies and stir for a few seconds.

    Next, add the spice paste and stir for a minute until spices start leaving the oil.
