Ingredients

  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 T sunflower oil
  • 1 t crushed ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 2 t mild curry powder
  • 1 t ground cumin
  • 1 t ground coriander
  • 1 x 400 ml can coconut milk
  • 6–8 yellow pattypans, halved
  • 1 large yellow sweet pepper, chopped
  • 1 punnet baby corn or freshly sliced-off kernels of 2 cobs
  • 1 x 400 g pack ready-diced hubbard squash
  • ½ cup vegetable stock
  • 1 whole fresh chilli
  • 1 lime
  • pinch brown sugar
  • sea salt to taste
  • To serve:

    To serve:

  • basmati rice
  • roasted cashew nuts, chopped (optional)
  • coriander leaves
  • garam masala

Method

Crisply fry half the onion in the heated oil, remove and reserve for garnishing. Gently fry the other half until softened. Stir in the garlic, ginger and spices. Stir in the coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Add the vegetables, stock, chilli, curry and a little salt. Simmer for about 15 minutes or until the vegetables are tender. Discard the chilli and add the sugar and lime juice to taste.
To serve: Sprinkle with fried onion, cashews (if using) and coriander and serve with basmati rice. Pass around garam masala for sprinkling at the table.
Cook’s tips: Instead of the hubbard squash use a 400g mix of ready-diced pumpkin, butternut squash and sweet potato – give it longer in the oven to ensure the vegetables are cooked through. Add substance to the dish by topping it with eggs, deep-fried Chinese-style in hot oil, or hard-boiled and halved. If you like, add cubed cooked chicken or fi sh to the cooked vegetables and heat through.

TASTE’s take:
This dish mixes Indian spices with a touch of Thai by way of the addition of sugar and lime to give it a lift.
