Takes

Serves 4

Ingredients
 

For the Creamy Curry Sauce:

  • 3 tbsp curry powder
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • ½ tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • 3 tbsp desiccated coconut
  • 2 tbsp ground almonds
  • 1 x 400g tin of chopped tomatoes
  • 1 x 400g tin of coconut milk

For the Roasted Veg:

  • 1 red pepper
  • 1 yellow pepper
  • 2 carrots
  • 1 onion
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 2 x 400g tins of chickpeas (560g net weight)
  • 1 head of cauliflower
  • 250 g sweet potato
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1 bunch of coriander (including stalks)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven
    Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan).
  • Prepare the vegetables:
    Roughly chop the red and yellow peppers, carrots, and onion.
    Chop the cauliflower into florets and the sweet potato into bite-sized pieces.
    Peel and quarter the onion, and peel the garlic cloves.
    Toss all the vegetables and garlic in the oil and sprinkle each tray with ½ tsp salt.
    Place the cauliflower on one tray, the sweet potato on another, and the remaining vegetables on a third tray.
    Roast for 30 minutes or until cooked through, with the cauliflower nicely charred. (You can roast the vegetables a day in advance and store them in the fridge until needed.)
  • Toast the spices:
    While the veg is roasting, toast the curry powder, ground coriander, garam masala, turmeric, and ground cumin in a large non-stick pan over medium-low heat for 1-2 minutes.
    Set aside.
  • Prepare the sauce:
    Once the veg is roasted, set aside the cauliflower and sweet potato.
    Peel the roasted garlic to reveal the soft centres.
    In a food processor or blender, combine the roasted carrots, peppers, onion, garlic, toasted spices, desiccated coconut, ground almonds, tinned coconut milk, and chopped tomatoes. Blend until smooth.
  • Cook the chickpeas:
    In the same pan used for toasting the spices, heat ½ tbsp of oil over medium heat.
    Add the drained and rinsed chickpeas and cook for 1-2 minutes.
    Add the chopped fresh coriander (including finely chopped stalks) and stir well.
  • Combine and simmer:
    Pour the blended curry sauce into the pan with the chickpeas. The sauce will thicken as it heats, but it will loosen slightly during cooking.
    Simmer the sauce for 3-5 minutes.
    Add the roasted cauliflower and sweet potato to the pan and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until heated through and the flavours have melded.
    Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or tamari if needed.
  • Serve:
    Serve the curry with brown basmati rice and garnish with fresh coriander.
    Enjoy!

Notes

  • Beat the bloat: Replace cauliflower with carrots, aubergine, or broccoli. Chickpeas are low FODMAP at 42g per serving.
