Curried Vegtable StirFry

I love to throw some vegetables into a large frying pan, and whip a stir fry up in just a few minutes. This is a tasty vegetable curry dish that is ready to serve in less then twenty minutes.

1 tsp oil
1 tsp curry
1 tsp cumin
1/8 tsp red pepper flakes
2 cloves garlic
3/4 cup red pepper, chopped
3/4 cup carrots, thinly sliced
3 cups cauliflower
1/2 cup water
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp cilantro, chopped

In a large frying pan, at medium-high heat, heat oil, curry, cumin, and pepper flakes.

Stir in garlic, peppers, carrots, and cauliflower. Add 1/4 cup water, and cook at medium heat until water evaporates. Add another 1/4 cup, and cover. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until vegetables are tender-crisp.

Add salt, and cilantro. Serve.
