1 unbaked pastry shell (9 inches)
1-1/2 cups chopped onion
1 medium green pepper, chopped
1 cup chopped tomatoes
1/2 cup chopped zucchini
1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
2 tablespoons butter

In a large skillet, saute the onion, green pepper, tomatoes, zucchini and mushrooms in butter. Add the curry powder, salt, pepper and cinnamon; mix well. Spoon into crust.
