Vegetable Curry Ingredients (note that you can use any veg or even add a little chicken for this recipe)
- 100g Mange Tout
- 100g Baby Corn
- 1 Red Pepper
- 1 Green Pepper
- 1 Large Sweet
- 1 Carrot
- 1/2 fresh red chilli
- 1 tablespoon groundnut oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 200Ml creamed coconut or coconut milk
- 200ml vegetable stock
- 1 lime
Curry Method
Pre-heat the oven to 190c.
Next, peel and chop the potato and carrot and boil for a few minutes. Drain these and leave to one side. Next, prepare your veg by slicing up the peppers and chilli. Leave the chilli to once side as this will be used to sprinkle on the curry once prepared.
Once you’ve done this, place the potato, carrot and peppers into a roasting dish and drizzle with some olive oil and put in the oven for around 30 minutes until soft and golden.
Next heat up your wok and when really hot add the groundnut and sesame oils, swirl them around, then add in the baby corn and your pre-prepared green curry paste. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds.
Finally, pour in the coconut milk and stock and add the mange tout, roasted potato, carrot and peppers, give it all a good stir, bring to the boil and cook for a few minutes. At this point, if you think it needs a little soy sauce then feel free to add some.
To finish off, take the lime and roll it between your hand and a hard surface; this will get the juices of the lime flowing. Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice into the curry.
You can now serve with some basmati rice and enjoy.
