Ingredients
1 medium onion
1 carrot 2 tbsp sunflower or peanut oil 1 to 1.5 red chili(s) (go for a bird's-eye if you like it hot) 2 thumb-sized pieces of root ginger 5 cloves garlic 1 large tsp Madras curry powder 1 tsp turmeric 1 tsp black onion seeds 1 medium sweet potato 4 heaped tbsp ground almonds A good handful of sultanas ½ a small cauliflower 400ml tin of coconut milk 150g frozen peas Juice of ½ a lemon A really big handful of coriander Salt 2 heaped tbsp desiccated coconut, to serve Method/steps
1 chop the onion in half and into thick slices, cut the carrot into thick chunks and add to oil, salt and cook over a low heat, covered, for 15-20 mins (stir occasionally)
2 blitz the chili, ginger and garlic to a paste in a food processor and add to pan, cook for further 5 mins 3 wash and chop sweet pot into 2.5 cm chunks, add to pan with ground almonds, mix well 4 turn up heat and add 250ml water and sultanas, bring to a simmer and bubble for 10-15 mins (lid off) stirring occasionally 5 break cauliflower into florets and it and coconut milk to pan, simmer for further 10-15 mins, covered. 6 check veg is cooked and then turn off heat and add peas, more salt, lemon juice, the coriander chopped and the coconut sprinkled on top. I serve it with white rice, rotis and some lime pickle. Some sharp apple cider would be a great partner too. Additional tips
Note, the veg in this recipe is quite flexible, for instance I am replacing the peas with some spinach that I had left in the fridge, and I have used a whole small romanesco head - the beauty of a dish that will actually get made is often it's flexibility. To make it child friendly just leave out the chili and about half of the spices, see what I mean, felixible.
