Mixed vegetable curry
Mixed vegetable curry with potatoes, spinach, carrots and peas is the only recipe my children are guaranteed to eat and enjoy every single time. An easy, mild, vegan curry that's packed with veggies.
Ingredients
For the vegetables
- 8 small potatoes chopped (peeled if preferred)
- 3 medium carrots peeled and diced
- 100 g frozen peas
For the sauce
- 1 tablespoon sunflower oil
- 1 tablespoon cumin seeds
- 1 large onion peeled and finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic peeled and finely chopped
- 1 thumb-sized piece ginger peeled and grated or finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon chilli powder optional
- 800 g tinned chopped tomatoes (2 x 400g tins)
- 100 g frozen chopped spinach or equivalent weight fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 tablespoon garam masala
- salt and pepper to taste
- fresh coriander chopped, to serve (optional)
Instructions
First prepare your vegetables
- Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and add the prepared potatoes and carrots. Bring back to the boil then simmer until soft.
- When almost done add the peas and return to the boil. Simmer for a minute then drain and set aside.
To make the sauce
- Heat a tablespoon of sunflower oil in a large saucepan or frying pan over a medium heat. Add a spoonful of cumin seeds and fry until just turning brown.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté until golden brown and soft, stirring often. Add the garlic and ginger and continue cooking for a further minute before adding a teaspoon of turmeric and the chilli powder (if using.)
- Next add 2 tins of chopped tomatoes. Stir well, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and allow to cook for 5-10 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken a little bit. Add the spinach and continue cooking until either wilted or defrosted.
- Finally add a tablespoon of garam masala. Cook for five more minutes then stir in the cooked vegetables. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Continue cooking until the vegetables are hot.
- Serve with rice or flatbreads and fresh coriander if liked.
