Indian Pototoes with Cauliflower and Peas

    What I am cooking tonight-- a delicious recipe for potatoes--Indian Style.  It's quick and easy and very warming with ginger and turmeric and a bit of chili powder.  The perfect dish for a chilly, rainy night.
    This is a good recipe if you want to try Indian cuisine and are not sure where to start.  Everybody will love these potatoes! And.....this dish is low in fat and totally Vegan.
