Place them on a chopping board and dice them into pieces. Then, slice the onions and crush the garlic cloves. Also, chop tomatoes and parsley and keep them aside. Now, cut cauliflower into florets and keep them in a separate bowl.
• Next, place a frying pan over medium flame and pour oil in it. Once the oil is heated, add diced potatoes, cauliflower florets, sliced onions and garlic and stir them well. Cook the mixture until the garlic turns brown in colour.
• Now, add curry powder and ginger into the pan and cook the mixture for 5 minutes. Then, add masoor daal, tomatoes, vegetable stock, vinegar and mango chutney or pulp into the pan. Stir the mixture well.
• Next, sprinkle salt and black pepper into the pan and cover the pan with a lid. Cook the dish for 20-22 minutes until the dal gets tender. Garnish the dish with chopped parsley and serve.

CHICKEN MADRAS

Steps:

• Blitz 1 quartered onion, 2 garlic cloves, a thumb-sized chunk of ginger and ½ red chilli together in a food processor until it becomes a coarse paste.
• Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large saucepan and add the paste, fry for 5 mins, until softened. If it starts to stick to the pan at all, add a splash of water.
• Tip in ½ tsp turmeric, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp ground coriander and 1-2 tsp hot chilli powder and stir well, cook for a couple of mins to toast them a bit, then add 4 chicken breasts, cut into chunks. Stir and make sure everything is covered in the spice mix.
• Cook until the chicken begins to turn pale, adding a small splash of water if it sticks to the base of the pan at all.
• Pour in 400g can chopped tomatoes, along with a big pinch of salt, cover and cook on a low heat for 30 mins, until the chicken is tender.
• Stir through small pack of coriander and serve with rice, naan and a big dollop of mango chutney.

VEGETABLE MADRAS

Steps:

• Put shallow casserole or deep frying pan on heat with splash of oil. When pan has heated, add onions to pan and let cook slowly for about 20 minutes until they first soften, then start to slightly caramelise and catch on the base. Keep an eye on them and stir occasionally. The idea is to bring out the sweetness in the onions to add flavour. While the onions are cooking put the sweet potato's on to steam for about 10 minutes or until they just start to soften. In a seperate pan fry the red pepper, initially with the lid on to soften them. When you think the onions are ready, add the garlic and ginger and cook the rawness out but don't let it burn.
• Add the Madras curry paste to the pan with the onion/garlic/ginger and let it cook out a bit on a low heat. Then add the courgette and mix around so it gets coated in the paste. Then add the red pepper. Then the sweet potato.
• Swirl around the hot water in the pan that the red pepper cooked in and add the stock cube to dissolve. Add to main pan. Add the chopped tomotoes. Top up with hot water if it looks too dry.
• After about 10 minutes add the spinach in gradual handfuls. Let it bubble away on a low heat for about another 10 minutes or until it starts to thicken. Some of the smaller pieces of sweet potato should break down a bit and help to thicken the sauce.
• When the sauce gets to a medium consistency, taste it and adjust the flavouring to your liking by adding garam masala, ceyenne, chutney, coriander etc. Serve with rice or nan bread.
