TOFU CAULIFLOWER VEGETABLE KORMA RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• 1.In a small bowl, stir together all spices. Set aside. 2.In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat, add spice mix, tomatoes, carrots, onion, garlic, and coconut. Sauté for 10 minutes. Add water; bring to a boil, reduce to medium, cover, and cook for 20 minutes, until vegetables are very tender. Transfer to a blender or food processor (or use an immersion/stick blender); purée until smooth. Add back to pot along with tofu, cauliflower, pink peppercorns, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil, reduce to medium, cover, and cook until cauliflower is extremely tender (about 15 minutes). Season to taste with additional salt, if required (it needs a surprisingly large amount). 3.Serve hot with brown rice, basmati rice, or quinoa, and a scattering of mint. Notes - For a soy-free variation, replace tofu with 1.5 to 2 cups cooked chickpeas

CREAMY VEGGIE KORMA

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pan. Cook onion with the dry spices over a low heat for 5-6 mins until the onion is light golden. Add the chilli, garlic and ginger and cook for 1 min, then throw in the mixed vegetables and cook for a further 5 mins.
• Divide the mixture appropriately between two pans if serving vegetarians and meat eaters. Chop the chicken into small chunks and stir into one pan. Add the stock, dividing between the pans appropriately, and simmer for 10 mins (if only cooking the veggie version in one pan, use 300ml stock; if dividing between two pans, add 250ml to each). Divide the peas, if necessary, and add, cooking for 3 mins more until the veg are tender and the chicken is cooked through.
• Remove from the heat and stir through the yogurt and ground almonds, if using. Serve sprinkled with the toasted almonds and coriander, with basmati rice or naan bread on the side.
