Heat vegetable oil in a large saucepan. Add the chopped onion, garlic, chilis, bay leaves, ginger, turmeric, garam masala and cumin seeds to the oil.
Stir together and cook until onions become creamy, golden, and translucent.
Add salt and mix well. Stir in the tomatoes. Bring to a simmer.
Add potatoes and cauliflower to the sauce and stir to coat. Cover and simmer for twenty minutes (or until potatoes are cooked).
Politics in a literary work are a pistol-shot in the middle of a
concert, a crude affair though one impossible to ignore. We are about
to speak of very ugly matters.
