The theme this week is Vegan Comfort foods so we teamed up with Isle of Wight tomatoes to bring you a hearty vegan curry recipe.
Serves: 4
Vegan Curry Recipe Method:
- Cover the tomatoes with boiling water in a bowl and leave for 3 minutes. Drain, cover with cold water, then peel off the skins and chop the tomatoes.
- Heat the oil in a frying-pan. Add the garlic and ginger. Fry for a minute then add the onion and chilli. Fry gently until soft and then add the spices and fry for 2 minutes.
- Add the chopped tomatoes, curry leaves and stock or water. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes on a medium heat until thickened – add a little extra water if it’s too dry. Add the cherry tomatoes and chickpeas, season and simmer for 5 minutes until the cherry tomatoes are soft but still holding their shape.
- Scatter with fresh coriander and serve with coconut yoghurt and mango chutney. And rice and chapatis, if you like!
