I have a special affection for curry powder. This is because in Italy, where I grew up, this masala is probably the most popular of the Indian spices, and I’ve always been very fond of its flavour. The recipe we are sharing here is for a delicious and very aromatic mixture of vegetables, which makes the perfect side dish for any of those dinners where you feel that a touch of spice is needed to elevate the flavour of the meal.
5ozwhite mushrooms
6ozcarrots
7ozred bell pepper
6ozcauliflower
3ozwhite onion
2 clovesgarlic
ginger to taste
fresh chill to taste
2ozfrozen peas
1½ cupcoconut milk
2 tbspcurry powder
1 tspsugar
3 tbspyellow corn flour
Instructions
- Dice the mushrooms, the onion, the carrots, the pepper and the cauliflower into one centimeter (half an inch) pieces.
- Finely chop the ginger, the garlic and the chili.
- Place a pan over a medium heat, tip in some of the coconut milk, the onions, the ginger and the garlic and stir the ingredients well. Here is our recipe for coconut milk.
- Bring the liquid to a boil and cook the ingredients until the onions are soft and translucent.
- Add in the carrots, the peppers, the cauliflower, the mushrooms, the peas and the spices, and stir to combine them.
- Bring the liquid back to the boil, lower the heat to the minimum and cover the pan with the lid. Cook the ingredient for 10 minutes or until the vegetables have the desired crunch.
- Once the time has elapsed, remove the lid and turn the heat up to medium. Add in all the remaining coconut milk and the flour mixed with some cold water, and stir.
- Reduce the liquid until it becomes of the desired consistency to complete the preparation. Remember to taste the dish and adjust salt if necessary.
Substitutions and Tips
- If not available, the coconut milk can be substituted with water.
- The corn flour can be substituted with 2 tbsp/16g of cornstarch.
