SUMMER VEGETABLES IN SPICED YOGURT SAUCE

Steps:

• Put oil in a deep, wide skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. When it shimmers, add the ginger, garlic, cumin seeds, turmeric, cayenne and the serrano chile. Stir-fry the mixture until it begins to sizzle a bit, about 1 minute.
• Add onion to pot, and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 to 4 minutes. Season well with salt.
• Stir in garam masala, squash and turnips, along with 1 cup water. Cover and simmer briskly until vegetables are just done, about 3 minutes.
• Add yogurt and almond flour. Stir well to combine. Add peas and corn. Simmer gently, uncovered, until sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Taste sauce for salt and adjust as needed.
• Add the spinach, and let wilt into the mixture. Turn off heat. Sprinkle with cilantro, and serve with rice, if desired.

GREEN PEA SAUCE

Steps:

• Warm the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the onion, and cook until nearly tender. Stir in the garlic, and cook for a few seconds, until fragrant. Pour in peas, and stir to thaw. Pour in the vegetable stock and evaporated milk. Turn heat to low, cover, and cook for 5 minutes. Once the peas have cooked, pour them into a blender and puree until smooth.
• Pour the pureed sauce back into the skillet, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Simmer over low heat until the sauce reaches desired consistency.

YELLOW SPLIT PEA SOUP WITH SPICED YOGURT

Steps:

• Pick over and discard any damaged peas or stones. Rinse the peas. Drain.
• In a soup pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and carrot and saute, stirring, until the vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes. Add the ginger and stock or water and the rinsed peas. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer gently until the peas are completely soft, 45-60 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and let cool slightly. Use a blender, food processor or hand blender to puree until smooth. Thin with water or stock, if necessary. Season with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, to make the garnish, in a small bowl whisk together the yogurt, turmeric, cumin, ground coriander and salt and pepper to taste.
• Ladle the soup into individual bowls. Drizzle with the spiced yogurt and sprinkle with the cilantro.

SPICED PEA & COURGETTE FRITTERS WITH MINTY YOGURT DIP

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together all the fritter ingredients, except the oil, until combined. For the yogurt dip, simply mix all the ingredients together in a small bowl with plenty of freshly ground black pepper and 1 tsp salt. The dip can be made in the morning and chilled.
• When you're ready to cook the fritters, heat the oil over a high heat (you want to make sure the oil is really hot, so be brave!). Carefully drop 1 tbsp of batter into the pan - add only 4-5 tbsp at a time so you don't overcrowd the pan - and fry for about 2 mins each side until nicely crisp and golden. Remove from the pan and place on kitchen paper to absorb the excess oil. The fritters can be fried a couple of hours before serving, then reheated in the oven.
• To reheat the fritters ready for serving, heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Put the fritters on a baking tray and bake for 10 mins or until crispy and hot. Serve on a platter with the feta and spring onions scattered over, with the minty yogurt dip on the side.

LOW-FAT PEAS AND CAULIFLOWER IN SPICY YELLOW YOGURT SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large pot over high heat, bring the water with 2 teaspoons of the salt to a boil.
• Drop in the cauliflower florets and the frozen tiny peas, return to a boil, and cook for only 2 minutes.
• Drain in a colander and run under cold water to stop the cooking and cool.
• Let the vegetables drain in the colander while you prepare the dressing.
• In a serving bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients, whisking until the mixture is creamy.
• Fold in the vegetables gently to coat.
• Serve immediately or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 4 hours, lightly tossing again before serving.

GREEN PEAS IN SPICED YOGURT SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the oil with the onions, garlic, ginger, sweet curry powder and cumin seeds in a large saucepan over medium heat, cooking until the cumin turns light brown and fragrant, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Add the frozen peas. Cook until the peas are soft and the moisture is evaporated, stirring often, for about 5 minutes. Stir in the yogurt and salt. Bring to a simmer and then reduce the heat to low. Cook for 15 more minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Taste for seasoning and serve.
