Cauliflower, pea and potato curry

This is a generous portion, but it’s all vegetables, so it doesn’t feel heavy. If it’s too much, freeze some of it for later. Add the chilli according to taste.

Cauliflower pea and potato curry

Meal type: Main meal

Serves: 2

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Cooking time: 35 minutes

1. Heat the oil in a large pan and cook the cumin seeds for 2-3 minutes until they sizzle. Add the onion, garlic and ginger and fry for 3-4 minutes. Add the chilli, tomatoes, tomato puree and the spices.

2. Cook for 5 minutes, then add the cauliflower, potato and 400ml (13 ½ fl oz) hot water. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the potato is tender.

3. With a fork, mash half of the potato to help thicken the curry. Add the peas and cook for 2 minutes.

4. Taste, and add a pinch of sugar, if needed. If you like, stir the fromage frais or yogurt into the curry to make it creamier, but do not heat it through, or just serve it with the curry. Serve with brown rice and coriander leaves

Store in a plastic container and freeze for up to 2 months. Defrost and re-heat thoroughly.
