Scale
- 30ml (2 tbsp) vegetable oil
- 2 large onions, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 2.5cm (1in) fresh ginger root, grated
- 1 cauliflower, cut into florets
- 1 butternut, cut into bite-sized chunks
- 500ml (2 cups) curry base sauce
- 12g (2 tbsp) ground cumin
- 19g (2 tbsp) ground turmeric
- 14g (2 tbsp) paprika
- 2 red peppers, chopped
- 2 green peppers, chopped
- 4 tomatoes, chopped
- 160g (1 1/4 cup) peas
- 9g (2 tbsp) garam masala
- 12g (1 tbsp) dried fenugreek leaves
- fresh coriander leaves, for garnishing
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan and gently fry the onions for 5 minutes or until softened.
- Add the garlic and ginger and stir fry for another 2 minutes.
- Tip in the cauliflower and butternut. Pour in the curry base sauce and stir in the cumin, turmeric and paprika. Cook for 10 minutes.
- Add the peppers, tomatoes and peas. If the curry doesn’t look saucy enough to your liking, add up to 250ml (1 cup) of water to it to give the vegetables enough liquid to cook in. Cook for another 5-10 minutes or until the vegetables are cooked and the sauce has thickened.
- Stir in the garam masala and dried fenugreek leaves, then garnish with coriander leaves. Serve immediately with your favourite Indian accompaniments. Enjoy!
Notes
- For best results, use a fresh cauliflower. Frozen cauliflower can be used though.
- Frozen peas were used in this recipe.
- If you prefer your vegetables on the crispy side, cook them for a shorter amount of time, and vice versa.
- Kasoori Methi is another name for dried fenugreek leaves, just in case you’re out shopping and can’t find it.
- Fancy other vegetables? Feel free to substitute it with other vegetables such as mushrooms, potatoes, kale, etc.
