Instructions
- Begin by getting your potatoes on to boil or steam. Cut each potato into 5-6 pieces, with skins on is preferable to keep the fibre in tact.
- Now, thinly slice your onion.
- Get a large pan onto the heat with a kettle of hot water ready to use for the cooing of the onion. Fry your onion until lightly caramelised but keep adding more splashes of hot water as to prevent sticking. Add your crushed garlic about 5 minutes into this process to lightly caramelise that too.
- In the meantime, chop and prep your red pepper and green beans. Chop red pepper into inch sized squares and green beans into 1 inch length pieces.
- Add your red pepper and green beans to your pan, along with all your spices, and cook for about 1 minute, stirring continually.
- Add your veggie stock, tomato paste, sugar, chickpeas and coconut milk and bring to a simmer.
- Allow to simmer and reduce for 10 minutes. Check flavours and add more spices if required. You may also need to add a touch more sugar at this point to balance the flavours.
- When your potatoes are fully cooked, add to your curry and stir in gently. Be careful not to break your potatoes up by stirring to vigorously at this point. Just fold in.
- Serve with your favourite sides. Some healthy options are brown rice and fresh, fresh coriander and chopped mango pieces.
