Steps:

• In a large saucepan over medium-high, heat oil and saute onion, and garlic until golden. Stir in curry powder and tomato paste, cook 2 to 3 minutes.

FRUIT AND VEGETABLE CURRY

Steps:

• Saute the onions in the peanut oil for 10 minutes.
• Stir in the garlic, ginger root, and spices and continue to saute, stirring constantly for about 3 minutes.
• Add the zucchini and water and stire well so that the spices won't stick to the bottom of the pan.
• Cover the pan and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Mix in the green beans, pears, red bell peppers, and dried apricots.
• Simmer gently, covered, for about 30 minutes.
• Stir occasionally and add a little more water if needed to prevent sticking.
• When the fruit and vegetables are quite tender, stir in the currants and the apricot preserves.
• Taste the curry and adjust the flavor to your liking. Add cayenne or Garam Masala if it's not spicy enough, lemon juice if you'd like more tartness, or more apicot preserves to intensify the sweetness.
• Keep the curry warm on a heat diffuser, to prevent scorching, until ready to serve.
• Serve on a bed of rice, topped with peanuts and sliced bananas.

Add the cumin seeds, cloves, cardamom, allspice, cinnamon stick, and bay leaf and cook, stirring constantly, until toasted and fragrant and the cinnamon stick unfurls, about 30 seconds. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic-ginger paste, curry powder, and jalapeno and cook, stirring, until lightly browned and fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomato and yogurt and cook, stirring, until they separate from the oil and there is a distinctive sizzling sound, as the sauce "fries" in the oil, about 7 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring, for about 1 minute more.
• Add the water, salt, and potatoes and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 10 minutes.

Transfer to a serving bowl and serve with rice and chutney.
