Here's my curry recipe - this is a big hit with all 3 of us. Prep all the veggies by cutting them into 1 inch chunks before starting to cook.
Melt a big knob of butter in a pan, add 2 chopped medium onions and cool until golden. Add 3 crushed garlic cloves and a 1.5 inch cube of fresh ginger, peeled and grated. Cook for another couple of mins.
Add 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 tbs ground coriander, 1/2 tsp cardamom seeds (crush a bit between two spoons), 1/2 tsp ground turmeric, 1/2 tsp chilli powder, 2 bay leaves, lots of fresh ground black pepper.
Cook for a few seconds, then start adding the veggies. Potatoes 1st, then I usually do aubergine, mushrooms, green beans but you could also use squash, broccoli, cauliflower, red pepper, etc. Add 200ml water, stir well and leave to cook for 15 mins.
Mix together a small pot of plain yoghurt and a small pot of cream. Take the curry off the heat and stir in the yoghurt/cream mixture.
Serve with rice or naan, sprinkle garam masala over top, and flaked almonds for grownups.
Yum! Hungry now!
