This is a leftovers curry for the use of all your leftover vegetables after a roast dinner, reducing your food waste and giving you a delicious curry for the day after. I've made this a vegetarian recipe with tofu, but if you have leftover meat you can cut that into pieces and use it instead of the bean curd.
Ingredients:
200g of tofu, drained and cubed
500g of leftover vegetables (eg: cauliflower, brocoli, carrots, cabbage and potatoes)
200g spinach (fresh or frozen)
100g of frozen peas
1 medium onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 thumb-sized piece of ginger, grated
4 tsp of garam masala
1 tsp medium curry powder
1 tbsp of turmeric
2 whole green chillies
1 1/2 tsp of mustards seeds
1 tsp of nigella seeds
2 handfuls of tomatoes (if in season and ripe), chopped or half a tin of chopped tomatoes
3 tbsp sunflower oil
2 green chillies, sliced into rounds, to garnish
Method:
Heat the sunflower oil in a wok or deep frying pan. When hot add the spices (but only 3 tsp of the garam masala, and 1 tsp of the mustard seeds) and fry for about 90 seconds, until aromatic.
Add the onion and fry for about 5 minutes, until softened. Now add in the garlic and ginger and fry for 90 seconds more.
Stir in the tomatoes, spinach and vegetables, bring to a simmer, cover and cook for 30 minutes.
When the vegetables are almost done, heat oil in a separate pand and add in the cubed tofu (or left-over meat) with 1 tsp garam masala and 1/2 tsp mustard seets. Cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through and the edges of the tofu are beginning to brown.
Serve the tofu cubes on top of the vegetable curry. Garnish with the sliced chillies and serve.
