Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion , thickly sliced
  • 1 large garlic clove , crushed
  • 1 eating apple , peeled, cored and chopped into chunks
  • 3 tbsp balti curry paste (we used Patak's)
  • 1 medium butternut squash , peeled and cut into chunks
  • 2 large carrots , thickly sliced
  • 200g turnips , cut into chunks
  • 1 medium cauliflower , weighing about 500g/1lb 2oz, broken into florets
  • 400g can chopped tomatoes
  • 425ml hot vegetable stock
  • 4 tbsp chopped coriander , plus extra to serve
  • 150g pot low-fat natural yogurt

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a large pan, then add the onion, garlic and apple and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens, about 5-8 minutes. Stir in the curry paste.
  • Tip the fresh vegetables into the pan and add the tomatoes and stock. Stir in 3 tbsp of the coriander. Bring to the boil, turn the heat to low, put the lid on and cook for half an hour.
  • Remove the lid and cook for another 20 minutes until the vegetables are soft and the liquid has reduced a little. There should be some liquid remaining, but not too much. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Mix 1 tbsp of coriander into the yogurt to make a raita. Ladle the curry into bowls, drizzle over some raita and sprinkle with extra coriander. Serve with the remaining raita and warm mini naan breads.
