I was taught how to make this curry by a mystical South Indian Yogi

When I first met swami I was having some difficulty in my life
And I was depressed and over thinking everything.
I was looking for a meditation teacher, someone to teach me how to Control my thoughts and swami just showed up on the Venice broad walk
And offered to teach meditation for free.
Today we’re making an okra, broccoli, cauliflower, potato curry.
You will need fresh curry leaf, onion, salt, ginger garlic, curry powder, fenugreek, cumin seed, coconut milk and Daal.
Before I start cutting the vegetables I add a 1 & 1/2 cups of daal to about 4-5 cups water and bring to a boil FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTE OR UNTIL TENDER. Daal is a form of lentil which helps make the curry base
Now we start to cut our vegetables
Chopping vegetables is such a great meditation
Giving your complete attention to the vegetable, focusing On the task at hand, being very conscious of the vegetable becoming one with the vegetable, Therefore infusing them powerful energy. That’s what makes cooking Such a a magical task.
