Ingredients

  • 1 onion - chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic - crushed
  • 150 g broccoli - chopped
  • 200 g cauliflower - chopped
  • 250 g mushrooms - chopped into chunks
  • ½ teaspoon chilli powder
  • 2 tablespoon madras curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 6 tablespoon peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (roughly half a lime)
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 400 ml coconut milk
  • 250 ml vegetable stock
  • 1 teaspoon oil

Instructions

  • Fry the onion until soft in a wok and a little oil, on a medium-high heat.
    1 onion, 1 teaspoon oil
  • Add the garlic and spices, fry until fragrant – around one minute.
    4 cloves garlic, ½ teaspoon chilli powder, 2 tablespoon madras curry powder, 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • Now add the mushrooms for a few minutes, and stir well, making sure they get a good coating of the spices.
    250 g mushrooms
  • Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable stock. Give it a good stir and bring it up to a simmer.
    400 ml coconut milk, 250 ml vegetable stock
  • Add the peanut butter, stir and leave it to simmer for 5 minutes. Stir regularly. It should thicken up after the peanut butter goes in.
    6 tablespoon peanut butter
  • Stir in the cauliflower and broccoli, and continue to simmer for 5-8 minutes.
    200 g cauliflower, 150 g broccoli
  • Add the juice of half a lime and salt. Serve and enjoy with rice and naan!
    1 tablespoon lime juice

Notes

  • You can use tamarind paste instead of lime juice if you have it.
  • You can use your favourite vegetables if you don't have those listed in the ingredients list. Potatoes, carrots and courgettes all work well!
