VEGETABLE CURRY

Serves 2

INGREDIENTS

1 carrot
125g of cauliflower florets
50g of green beans or peas
1 potato
1 clove of garlic
2cm (1 inch) piece of fresh ginger
2 onions
1 tablespoon of oil
200g (½ a 400g tin) of chopped tomatoes
½ a teaspoon of chilli powder
1 tablespoon of garam masala
½ a teaspoon of ground turmeric
250ml of water

METHOD

Peel the carrot and chop it into 2cm (1 inch) pieces. Break the cauliflower into 2cm (1 inch) pieces. Chop the beans or mange tout into 2cm (1 inch) pieces. Peel the potatoes and chop them into 2cm (1 inch) pieces.

Peel the garlic and chop it into tiny pieces. Peel the ginger and chop it into tiny pieces. Peel the onion and chop it into tiny pieces.

Put the oil into a frying pan on a medium heat. Add the onions, garlic and ginger into the pan. Fry for 3 minutes until they are golden. Stir frequently to stop it sticking.

Add the tomatoes, chilli powder, garam masala and turmeric, vegetables and water. Stir thoroughly.

Bring to the boil, then turn down the heat until it is just boiling. Cook for another 20 minutes until the potatoes are cooked and the sauce has reduced.

ADDITIONS & ALTERNATIVES

The quantity of chilli powder above makes for a medium curry. For a hot one, increase this to 1 teaspoon. For a mild one, decrease this to ¼ of a teaspoon.

JIL

Mushroom chow mein
mix together
4 tablespoons light soy sauce
4 tablespoons dark soy sauce
4 tablespoons oyster sauce.
teaspoon ground pepper
teaspoon sugar

---

Bag of fresh beansprouts.
250 g mushrooms sliced
2 cloves garlic very finely chopped
1 small white onion cut into chunks
3 tablespoons of sesame oil
bag of noodles (i prefer the ready made fresh ones in the fridges at supermarkets) but if using dried ones prepare them according to packet.

Chow mein is a noodle dish, but you can add more veg if you prefer.

heat the sesame oil add the onions, garlic and mushrooms and gently stir fry for a couple of minutes, add the beansprouts, fry for about a minute add the liquid and the noodles and heat through.

tastes very like a takeaway.

My vege curry is like this one but with potatoes, cauliflower, peas and paneer instead of the chicken.
