Lightly cooking vegetables, as in this popular, authentic dish, ensures that most of the antioxidants are preserved. This curry is delicious with brown rice or wholemeal pitta bread and a mixed salad.

Method

Heat the oil in a non-stick pan with a tight-fitting lid. Add the chopped onions and garlic and fry over a medium heat for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add the tomatoes, spices and chilli (if using). Cover and cook over a medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the potatoes with 100ml of hot water. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
Stir in the cauliflower and cook in the covered pan for 10 minutes or until tender.
Add another 50ml of hot water if the curry is sticking to the bottom of the pan. Stir in the chopped coriander and serve hot.

Cucumber raita makes a cooling accompaniment to curries. Mix finely chopped cucumber with yoghurt, a small crushed clove of garlic and chopped fresh mint.
