Ingredients
- 2 medium potatoes (about 12¼ oz), peeled and cut into 3/4-inch chunks
- 1 large carrot, peeled and sliced diagonally
- 1/2 cauliflower (about 10½ oz), cut into small florets
- 3 Tbsp. sunflower or vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, coarsely grated or very finely chopped
- 1 Tbsp. medium or hot curry powder
- 1 tin (8 oz) chopped tomatoes
- 1 1/4 cups vegetable or chicken stock
- 3 1/2 oz frozen peas or two large handfuls young spinach leaves
- Plain yogurt, to serve
- Mango chutney, to serve
Method
- Parboil the potatoes and carrot in salted water for 5 minutes, add the cauliflower for the last 2 minutes, then drain. This helps everything finish at the same time.
- Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat and cook the onion for 8 minutes until soft and golden.
- Stir in the curry powder and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the tomatoes and stock and bring to a simmer.
- Add the potatoes, carrot, and cauliflower, cover, and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes, until all the vegetables are tender and the sauce has thickened.
- Stir in the peas or spinach and cook 2 to 3 minutes more, until heated through or wilted. Season with salt to taste.
- Serve in bowls with a spoonful of yogurt and mango chutney alongside, with rice or flatbread if you like.
