I made this the other day and it was just soooo good! I like my curries spicy and so, added even more chili flakes to it. I served mine with rice and a dollop of yoghurt on the side, in case the tongue needed to be soothed ;o)
This recipe calls for cauliflowers, beans and carrots but like with all curries, you can experiment fearlessly. For variation, you can use any mixture of vegetables to make a total of 1.5 lbs.: Try turnips, courgette, eggplant (REALLY good as it soaks up all the flavours), parsnip, mushroom (see eggplant), leeks and capsicum. You can also add some lentils and/or chickpeas to make it even more wholesome! Hope you like it!Mixed Vegetable Curry

* 1 onion, sliced
* 1 tsp ground cumin

* 1 1/4 cups hot vegetable stock
* sea salt and pepper, to taste

Heat oil in a large saucepan, add onion, and fry for 5 minutes, until softened. Stir in cumin, chili powder, ground coriander, and turmeric, and cook for 2 minutes until fragrant, stirring occasionally.
