Add chopped nuts for some ‘scrunch’ if you like or include chicken or seafood.
If you have them, cooked chickpeas will add interesting texture and round out the protein values in this dish.

HFG tip

Curry paste can be used in place of dry spices in this dish. Freeze small quantities of curry paste in plastic wrap to add Indian zing to soups, vegetable dishes and dips.
