Tailor the recipe to your taste by adding your favourite vegetables, or meat if you want, and serve with steamed rice and warm, fluffy naan to soak up all that flavour.

Instructions

Step 1

Making the spice paste

Fit the Knife Blade

Add the onion, ginger, garlic, fresh coriander, red chillies, ground turmeric, ground cumin, ground coriander, curry powder, garam masala, water and fine sea salt into the chopper bowl. 

Process for about 10 seconds, or until smooth, adding more water if necessary to achieve a paste-like consistency.

Step 2

Making the curry

Place a large saucepan over a medium heat and tip in the mustard seeds. 

Toast for 1-2 minutes until they start to pop, then add the butter and let it melt. 

Spoon in the spice paste and fry for 3 minutes until it becomes fragrant. 

Add the sliced red and green peppers and cook for about 5 minutes, or until softened. 

Stir in the coconut milk, chopped tomatoes and fine sea salt and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes until the curry has thickened.

Step 3

Add the halved potatoes to the curry and simmer for about 20 minutes more, or until the potatoes are tender. 

Stir in the green beans and halved salad tomatoes. 

Continue cooking for another 10 minutes until everything is cooked through. 

Stir in the lime juice and mix gently to combine. 

Season to taste with salt and pepper, if necessary.

 

To serve 

Top with coriander leaves, yoghurt and toasted coconut flakes.
