�?/STRONG> Prepare the vegetables: peel and chop the onion, peel and crush the garlic, peel and slice the carrots and parsnips. Place in a very large pan and cover with 1½ pints of boiling water and bring to the boil and simmer for 15 minutes.

* If you can't find chat masala, use garam masala instead.
** I used brown rice and adjusted the cooking time accordingly.
