I love curry and until recently didn’t know where to start when it came to making a curry from scratch. So I asked my friend Anshu to teach me how to make an authentic Indian curry, this is one of the recipes I learned on the day!
I could eat this every day!
You will need:
1 Aubergine, cubed and set aside
2 cups of Veggies of your choice. I love butternut so almost always use this.
For the Curry paste:
Take 1 tbsp Coconut oil added to a pan, turn on the heat and add the following spices… 1 tsp mustard seeds 1 tsp cumin seeds 1 tsp chilli powder
Cover with a splatter screen until the spices pop, be careful not to scorch the spices. In the meantime blitz together 4 cloves of garlic and 2 chunks of ginger, add to the spices. Blitz together 2 tomatoes and add to mix.
Then add the following spices… 2 tsp coriander powder 1 tsp cumin 1/2 tsp turmeric 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste) 1 tsp chilli powder (more if you want heat!)
Combine well in the pan. Then add the veggies and 1/2 cup water, more if you think it needs it. Cook till ready. Now I love boosting the protein content of my curries so add gram balls to it, here is the recipe. Trust me you will love these!
I love serving this curry on a bed of spinach leaves and lentils, topped with a drizzle of yoghurt and some mango chutney.
For the Gram Balls:
You will need: 1/2 cup Gram flour 2 tsp Chilli powder 1 tsp Coriander powder 1 tsp Cumin 1 tsp Salt
Mix together, add 2 tbsp olive oil or more, until it forms a paste, add a drizzle of water to bind. Roll into small balls and add to the curry so that they cook/steam in the juices. Enjoy!
