Background

This cauliflower and broccoli curry is a vegan Indian dish that can be served as a main dish (with naan bread or rice) or part of a menu. It’s pleasantly spiced and not too hot, but if you like the heat, add some chilli powder too.

1 Tbsp oil
1 onion
2 cloves of garlic
3 cm piece of ginger
1 chilli pepper
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp coriander seeds
1 tsp mustard seeds

1 small broccoli
6 medium tomatoes
1 star anise
1 piece cinnamon bark
1 bay leaf
1 tin chickpeas, drained

Chopped coriander, parsley or mint leaves

Instructions

Thinly slice the onion, ginger, chilli and garlic.
Heat the oil and gently fry them over low heat until they have softened.
Meanwhile, chop the tomatoes, cauliflower and broccoli.
Measure out the spices.
When the onion has softened, add the spices and stir for a minute, then add the chopped vegetables.
Add the star anise, cinnamon and bay leaf. Add enough water to cover the vegetables, then season with salt and pepper.
