What we gonna need

(These brackets are me giving you realistic swaps and welcoming you to not lose your shit because you dont have an ingredient , I promise with a little time, ingenuity and optimism this will work out #life. I am here to try and make sure you are well fed, not make you feel inadequate for not having stuff that i like)

• Roasted Red Peppers (You can use fresh red peppers/or any fresh pepper you may have and put them directly on a flame and remove the char(blackened skin) in cold water , takes 5 extra min)

• Apple cider Vinegar & Lemons 🍋 (Any vinegar or tangy fruit 🍊 will do)

• Sweet Potato Chunks 🍠 (Frozen carrots , squash or any starchy vegetable will do)

• Your favorite spice mix 🥘, I use Tikka masala (Peri Peri , Jamaican curry mix or any spice mix with the tang )

• Chilli powder (optional … well not really ) (Get Kashmiri Chilli or Indian Chilli powder or even Cayene pepper is good)

• Jalapeno / Chilli Peppers 🌶️ of your choice (Any Chilli Pepper will do)

• Plant milk of your choice, I currently milk(blitz) hemp hearts , but you can do cashews. (Soy / Cashew / Coconut milk 🥥 work best)

• Olive oil, salt, pepper, sugar 🥄 (Use any oil/fat you got,pepper is optional 🧂 Salt & Sugar is not)

• Basmati Rice 🍚 (Get the long grain white basmati rice to feel most comforted , however any rice, qunioa or grain will do lol, Flatbread / Naan / Roti works too ofc )

• Corn nuggets 🌽 or Curry chunks (spiced tofu really) if you have on hand (Anything you like in your curry really - broccoli🥦 , chunks of plant meat or protein)

Method

• Rice🍚

  • Cook rice however you cook it or if you want to do it like me….

    (This is for white long grain basmati rice )

  • ⏲️Soak 1 cup rice to 1+1/2 cup water for 20 min at least

  • Remove the water and replace with new water

  • Microwave this mixture for 15 - 20min and check for doneness at 15 min

• Curry 🍛 : This curry is essentially Roast , Blend , Simmer

  • First things first Preheat your oven to 350 F / 180 C

  • ⏲️Take your (oven safe) pot and douse your veggies(Peppers , Starch , Chilli pepper ) in oil , vinegar of your choice , spice mix (at least 2tbsp)+ 1 tbsp chilli powder & 1 Tbsp sugar (I prefer brown) for 10-min

  • ⏲️Add a splash of water (5tbsp), Put them in the oven to roast for 35min to an hour

  • Let it cool for 5 min , put all veggies in the blender with water

  • Add the roasted veggie paste back into the pot and add 3 cups or 650 ml plant milk

  • ⏲️Simmer on medium low flame for 20min till it thickens

  • Add salt & pepper to taste and a 2 tbsp olive oil .

  • Let the curry cool for 10 -15 min.

• How to make this fail proof 📋

  • Use salt in the end to taste.

  • Make sure you have a timer when you put your veggies to roast.

  • This is a hands off recipe for the most part so LEAN on your timer if you don’t cook that often.

  • Let the curry cool completely and let it thicken.

  • Do not let it dry out , add splashes of water as needed

  • AND YES you can garnish it with cashew cream or vegan cream in the end if you like and tag me on my socials & make me salivate over my own recipe @iamanunaik (IG & Twitter)
