Chicken masala with zucchini and cauliflower

Okay, so this is another case of me being incapable of reading a recipe. Not only did I forget that I needed to marinate the chicken, but I completely forgot to include cardamom -- despite the recipe title including the word "Cardamom". (I was a bit distracted today :-) I also altered the recipe to skip a few steps (in the interest of time and fewer dishes) and to include more veggies (cuz who doesn't need more veggies?).

Stir-fried prawns in tomato-coconut sauce

While talking with M today, I was inspired to try something interesting for supper. I had a few constraints, though. I didn't want to make something that would involve a week of leftovers, and since I was too lazy to head out for groceries the list of ingredients would be limited to what I already had on hand. I had giant prawns and some leftover coconut milk, so I immediately thought of Madhur Jaffrey's Stir-Fried Prawns in an Aromatic Tomato-Cream Sauce. I modified her excellent recipe a bit, both to make up for a few missing ingredients and to make use of a few others. Here's what I ended up with.
