    Ingredients

    Instructions

    (Stops screen from sleeping)

    1 In a bowl, soak tomatoes and cashews for 30 minutes.

    2 Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pan. Add spring onion and cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally with a wooden spatula. Add carrot, mushroom, cauliflower, peas and tomato mixture. Sir well, cover pan and bring to the boil.

    3 Add chickpeas, curry powder and salt. Reduce heat and simmer for 2–5 minutes. Garnish with coriander. Serve with rice and yoghurt.

    Variations

    • If you don’t like spicy food, replace curry powder with 1/2 teaspoon each of turmeric, ground cumin seeds, ground coriander seeds and sweet paprika.
    • Peanuts work well in this recipe, too.
    • Go fancy and garnish with a sprinkle of poppy seeds or sesame seeds.
    • Add chilli for a spicier flavour.
    • Make it gluten free: Check curry powder (or ground spices if using) are gluten free.
    • Make it vegan: Serve with soy yoghurt instead.

    HFG tip

    Ground spices are added towards the end of cooking, otherwise they’ll cook out too much and the dish will taste dull.
