Vegetarian curry, not with chickpeas

[Part 2]

I recently had Halloumi curry with cashews and cauliflower. Works very much like paneer.

Hairy Bikers Muttar Paneer is a good easy one if you can find the recipe.

In my curry making experience the main thing I've learnt is less is more - unless you know what you're doing, chucking 12 random spices in rarely turns out brilliantly.

Definitely this. I've always tended to overdo spices, but am trying to be a bit more sparing and systematic about them these days. I do wish I understood a bit more about them, though, in terms of how different combinations of them work, coupled with what other ingredients they go with best. I really ought to try and read up on this a bit more and get experimenting, so I've just downloaded that Lord Krishna's Cuisine book. Thanks for the link Part 2!

So hungry for vegetarian curry. I want to cook and eat everything on this thread now.

Vegetable Makhanawala

This vegetable makhanawala recipe takes inspiration from Rick Stein's travels to Goa. The vegetarian Indian dish is best served simply with fragrant coriander.

I've made this one a few times - you can use whatever veg you have available so it's very flexible. It's always come out quite well.

Seconded.

Banana, or plantain? I'm curious because I've had plantain in a curry before.

Off topic, banana is a good addition when making chilli sauce.

Definitely banana. Quick google shows Tesco an d the Co Op have recipes

I know we were told to keep away from chick peas but with or without curry these are rather good

Not a curry as such, but this dhal is delicious Nigel Slater’s recipe for lentils with tomatoes and cauliflower

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

I love those black lentils and spinich in a curry, probably more than any meat.

Oh and how about oven roasted cauliflower and cauliflower leaves!! I love um.

Tempura sprouts ftw.

I encountered this (deep fried in batter, yes) in the same place that I discovered chip pie years ago
We have similar taste, SpookyFrank

 

[Epona]

We're not massively keen on chick peas (other than in hummus) so I am not sure I've ever included them in a veggie curry! I particularly like split yellow peas - good texture when cooked.

 

[UrbaneFox]

Aubergine and Potato curry is good

I like potato and cauliflower, with creamed coconut. I like yellow Cypriot spuds in it.

From deep-fried treats to curry: four ways with paneer – recipes

Paneer is so versatile that it’s as happy smothered in spinach as it is in deep-fried pakoras or buried in a rich curry sauce

It's a bit pricey and sometimes hard to get hold of, but if you can get a copy of 'Lord Krishna's Cuisine, the Art of Indian Vegetarian Cooking' by Yamuna Devi then you'll never need to eat the same curry twice. My mum, who is a lifelong vegetarian always had a copy, so I got one when Mrs Loop went veggie, it's got amazing simple stuff to do with individual veggies, but I've been doing more adventurous stuff like making my own paneer and then deep-frying it in crispy batter.

Really good book, I bought it because of this recommendation. The mint pea paneer was delicious just now

Beetroot might be hard to get in a small Asda but the may have the vacuum packed stuff which i think would do for this.

I made both of these this evening, and they were both excellent. I chucked some cashews in the halloumi one which worked very well.

Also did this one and can highly recommend.

I've done the beetroot one with paneer which is also really nice. Tofu looks nice and easy, I'll give it a go.

And I think generally flats are less of a security worry. I'd feel pretty comfortable just leaving mine for a few months... No alarm or anything.

Clearly this is not an immediate concern mind you.

Did the creamy halloumi last night. Bloody lovely.

This is brilliant.
