- Salt, used throughout
- 1 1/4 TBS ground turmeric
- 1 tsp curry powder
- 1 tsp mustard seeds, optional
- 1 TBS grated fresh ginger

- 1 tsp maple syrup
- Fresh cilantro

Instructions
- Add oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onion and a pinch of salt. Sauté for about five minutes, until slightly browned. Stir to prevent burning. Next, add your turmeric, curry powder, optional mustard seeds, and grated ginger. If things are sticking to the pan, add a splash of water.
- Add potatoes and let brown for 1-2 minutes. Stir, then add cauliflower with 1/4 tsp salt to season. Add a splash of water, reduce heat to medium low, and cover the skillet for 7-9 minutes to let vegetables steam/cook through.
- Remove lid and take pan off of heat. Immediately add peas, lemon juice, and maple syrup. Serve warm with some fresh cilantro and a side of rice or quinoa.
