Course: Main Course
Cuisine: Indian
Servings: 6
- 400 g Cauliflower Cut into 1cm chunks
- 500 g Courgette Cut into 1cm cubes
- 250 g Aubergine Cut into 1cm cubes
- 3 Cloves of garlic Peeled and crushed
- 1 Red onion Peeled and finely chopped
- 4 tbsp Curry paste See notes
- 3 tbsp Tomato pureé
- 400 g Coconut milk
- 1/2 tsp Sea salt
- 200 g Cashew nuts
Put all of the slow cook ingredients into the slow cooker and cook for 5-6 hours on HIGH or 7-8 hours on LOW.
The vegetables should be softened but not broken down.
Stir in the garam masala and serve.
Curry paste: Unless stated otherwise, use a curry paste to your own tastes and spice level.
Check the packet for what is considered a serving for 4 people and adjust the amount in the recipe accordingly. It’s usually 1-2 tbsp per person but it may vary for different brands
Curry powder substitute: You can use this instead of curry paste. 1tbsp curry paste = 1tsp curry powder
Chopping the vegetables: Be sure to cut all of the vegetables quite small here. It helps the texture and helps them cook evenly.
Coconut milk: I use full fat here for a creamy texture, but reduced fat will also work.
If you don’t have a slow cooker: Cook the ‘slow cook’ ingredients in a saucepan on the hob over a medium heat for 30 – 40 minutes , adding in the garam masala before serving.
Make this a 'dump bag' recipe: Prepare well in advance to save time in future. Simply add all of the raw ingredients into a freezer bag, label and freeze until it's time to cook. Then simply pop it into the slow cooker and cook as normal.
