Ingredients

Method

  1. 01

    Heat the oil over medium heat in a heavy pan. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened and golden at the edges.

  2. 02

    Stir in ginger and garlic for about a minute. Add tomatoes, cumin, coriander, turmeric, chili powder if using, and salt. Cook until the tomatoes soften and the mixture thickens.

  3. 03

    Add firmer vegetables first with the water. Cover and cook until partly tender.

  4. 04

    Add quicker-cooking vegetables, cashew paste, and coconut milk. Simmer gently until all vegetables are tender.

THE CURRY TABLE TOUCH · OPTIONAL VARIATION

Lime and coconut

Add: 0.25 tsp finely grated lime zest

Fold in the zest off the heat immediately before serving. Use only the colored peel; this is a fresh finishing note rather than added sourness.

A suggested variation. Try a small portion first; the planner uses the main recipe only.
