    I tried this with mixed results, but I made substitutions as followed:
    instead of kala lamak I used several pinches of hing (asafoetida) sauteed with the vegetables
    instead of the coconut oil I used 1 Tbs olive oil and 1 Tbs butter (yes, I know it’s dairy)
    instead of asparagus I used yellow squash
    I added a few pinches of cajun spice mix.

    I found that it took 60 minutes to bake, not 40, but maybe my oven wasn’t heating as hot as it should.

    The result was very bland indeed. Pouring salsa all over it helped.

    Next time I would double the vegetables, use something with a stronger taste like asparagus or okra, and bump up the spices a lot.
