Vegetable Korma help

First post in Recipes, so go easy on an old fella, please. ;)

I'm a 62 y/o man with some limited cooking abilities. Most of my meals are of the "grab whatever's available and chuck them all together" variety. Sometimes it works, but impossible to replicate. :)

We have friends coming over for tea Friday night and I'd like to give them a nice vegetable korma (I love these at Indian restaurants). For a change, I'd like to make the meal correctly. Does anyone have an idiot-proof vege korma reciped they can share??

TIA.

Ingredients:
2 cups Vegetables
2 Onions cut length-wise
2 Green chilies cut length-wise
1 tsp Coriander powder
1 1/4 tsp Salt
one pinch Turmeric powder
1/2″ Cinnamon stick
2 Cloves
2 Cardamom
2 tblsp Coconut powder
1 tsp poppy seeds
1/4 tsp (3 cloves) Garlic
1/4 tsp powder (or 1/2″ fresh) Ginger

Method:
Put a reasonable sized pot/pan on and heat oil. Add cinnamon,
cloves and cardamom and fry for 2-3 minutes. Add onions and green
chilies and fry till onions turn brown. Add garlic + ginger paste and
fry for a minute or so. Add vegetables and fry for about 3 minutes.
Add Water (about a cup or two). Let the vegetables + turmeric powder
cook.
If you are using canned or frozen vegetables skip the above step.
Add coconut paste, poppy seeds, salt and wait until cooked.
(Note: Cook on low heat.)

Excellent. Thank you very much!

Worked perfectly and everyone loved this recipe. Thank you again.

Would have been ever better if I had remembered I had left the garlic naan bread heating in the oven. I remembered after desserts. Duh!
