Description

This Marrow Curry, also known as Toriyan or Torai Ki Sabzi, is healthy and easy to prepare. Serve this summery vegan curry recipe with roti or pilau rice.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) canola oil
  • 6 onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 garlic bulb, peeled and crushed
  • 7.5cm (3in) fresh ginger root, peeled and grated
  • 6g (1 tbsp) cumin seeds
  • 3 tomatoes, chopped
  • 17g (1 tbsp) salt
  • 3g (1 1/2 tsp) ground coriander
  • 3g (1 1/2 tsp) ground black pepper
  • 3g (1 1/2 tsp) red chilli powder
  • 3g (1 1/2 tsp) ground turmeric
  • 1 marrow, peeled, deseeded and thinly sliced
  • 3 green chillies, washed and thinly sliced
  • 17g (1 cup) fresh coriander leaves, chopped for garnishing

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a large, heavy bottomed saucepan over a medium high heat. 
  2. Add the onions and stir fry for 10 minutes, or until softened and slightly browned.
  3. Lower the heat a bit and add the garlic, ginger and cumin seeds. Fry for 2 minutes. 
  4. Add the tomato, salt, coriander powder, black pepper, chilli powder and turmeric. Stir fry for another 2 minutes. 
  5. Add the sliced marrow and chillies to the mix and stir well. 
  6. Cook the marrow mixture for about 20 minutes, or until everything is cooked and tender. This should be done over a medium heat and you will need to keep a constant eye on it and stir when necessary. Marrow naturally contains a lot of water, so as it cooks, water will be released which should then evaporate thanks to the cooking process. If things do start sticking to the bottom of the saucepan and you’re worried, you can add a splash of water if necessary. 
  7. Season to taste, then serve with your favourite Indian bread and garnish with plenty of coriander leaves. Enjoy!

Notes

  • The marrow I used in this recipe weighed 1.5kg (3½ lbs). Scale the recipe’s other ingredients according to the size of the marrow you’ve got.
  • Since marrows are so large, consider this a batch cooking recipe. This vegan curry freezes really well!
