A simple but truly delicious vegetable curry with onion bhajis from Lidl and some winter lettuce from the polytunnel.
Vegetable Curry Ingredients (serves four)
- A little oil
- one onion, chopped
- a pepper, chopped
- an apple, peeled and finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons of curry powder or spices of your choosing (we like a combo of fenugreek, cumin, turmeric and chilli).
- vegetables of your choice, chopped: we used an aubergine, some green beans, a few small potatoes and a diced carrot.
- water to cover. We had some broccoli stock from earlier cooking and water saved from a tin of cannelloni beans.
- a teaspoon or two of cornflour
- salt to taste
Method
Fry off the onion, pepper and apple in the oil for a few minutes then add the spices. Stir well for a few minutes taking care not to burn the mixture. Add the vegetables and water, bring to the boil, turn down to a simmer until all veg is tender. Combine the cornflour with a little water and mix until smooth then add it to the curry, stirring all the time until it thickens. Add salt. We served it with some golden vegetable rice (add turmeric and a few peas/pepper/celery to rice as it cooks).
