Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 large shallot, diced
  • 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely chopped or grated
  • 1 red chilli pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon garam masala
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 x 400 g (14 oz) can crushed tomatoes
  • 200 g (7 oz) frozen or fresh peas
  • 1 small cauliflower head, cut into bite-size florets
  • 2 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 600 ml (2.5 cups) vegetable stock
  • 2 tablespoons fresh coriander, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil: In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
  2. Sauté shallots: Add the diced shallot and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened and fragrant.
  3. Add aromatics: Stir in the finely chopped garlic, fresh ginger, and red chilli pepper. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Add spices: Mix in the garam masala, turmeric, and cayenne pepper, stirring occasionally for one minute to toast the spices.
  5. Add main vegetables and liquids: Pour in the crushed tomatoes, add the peas, cauliflower florets, cubed potatoes, and vegetable stock. Stir well to combine.
  6. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes and cauliflower are fork-tender.
  7. Finish and serve: Stir in the fresh coriander and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot with steamed rice or roti.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen peas based on availability.
  • Adjust cayenne pepper quantity to control the heat level.
  • Substitute vegetable stock with water if preferred, but stock enhances flavor.
  • Garam masala can be homemade or store-bought.
  • For a richer flavor, cook with a heavy-bottomed pan to prevent sticking.
  • Make sure potatoes are fully cooked before serving.
