Background
This green bean and pea curry might require many ingredients - but these are mainly spices which can be mixed together quickly & easily. The curry is vegan, healthy, filling and very yummy. Serve it with rice or naan bread.
Ingredients
- 1 large onion
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 3 cm ginger
- 3 cm turmeric root or 1 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp garam masala
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp chilli powder ( or more to taste)
- ½ tsp ground peppercorn
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp tomato purée
- 2 medium tomatoes, chopped
- 1 carrot, chopped
- 1 piece of cinnamon
- 200g green beans
- 100g green peas
- 100g spinach/kale/cavolo nero
- ½ tin coconut milk
- Salt and pepper
- Few curry leaves (optional)
- To serve: mint leaves
Instructions
- Thinly slice the onion and garlic. Finely chop the turmeric root and ginger.
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan and fry the onion for 5 minutes or until soft. Add the garlic, turmeric root and ginger and fry for another minute or so.
- Add the spices, stir for a few seconds, then add the tomato purée and chopped tomatoes. Stir again for a few seconds. Add the chopped carrot and stir again.
- Pour in a glassful of water (about 300 ml), then add the cinnamon piece and bring to the boil. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, until you get a thick, creamy sauce.
- Add the peas and beans, bring to the boil. Add your chosen greens and cook for another 3-5 minutes. Add the coconut milk and more water, if needed - you should have thick, silky stew.
- Simmer for a couple of minutes, then taste and season with more salt, if needed.
- Serve with chopped mint leaves scattered on top.
