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!
