Indian Vegetable Curry – Gluten Free

Indian Vegetable Curry is a great way to use up veg in the fridge. You know those days when you look and you’ve got odds and ends. A handful of beans, a carrot, a few cauliflower florets…..Or days when you get carried away at a farmers market and simply can’t resist the fresh produce. If you’re looking to increase your intake of vegetables, this is a winner!

Swap out the vegetables

We’ve used veg that were in the fridge but you can add loads of others. Think, sweet potato, eggplant, parsnip, corn, potato, broccoli, corn…….you’ve got the picture. Simply add veg cooking the hardest then softest. You could also just use a couple of veg combinations such as pumpkin and zucchini or sweet potato and carrot. Indian vegetable curry is very adaptable.

Serving the curry

This Indian Vegetable Curry is delicious served with thick creamy yoghurt, fresh lemon juice and chopped coriander. Fry up some roti jala- Malaysian net pancakes, flatbreads in ghee or butter, pappadams or naan bread. We have served this with a brown rice and quinoa blend that’s cooked in a rice cooker. Got to love, love rice cookers. Perfect for cooking and holding the rice warm for ages.

Instructions

• now add garlic, ginger and tomatoes and cook till tomatoes start to break down (about 10 minutes)
• then stir in tomato paste and cook for a further 8-10 minutes

Notes

• Asafoetida or Hing, is a widely used Indian spice which adds a garlic-like flavour with onion overtones. You can simply leave it out if you can't find it.
• Try to use coconut milk that has a high ratio of milk to water. We love Ayam brand which is 100 % coconut milk.
