The Happy Pear: 5 min Veggie Tikka Masala

 

We’ve been eating Tikka Masala since we were kids - it’s one of the many Indian inspired dishes that made it to Ireland.

 

INGREDIENTS

3 chopped scallions

1 tbsp cumin seeds

1 tbsp coriander seeds

1 can full fat coconut milk

1 can drained rinsed chickpeas

1/2 a handful chopped coriander leaves

head of finely chopped cauliflower

2 tbsp soy yoghurt

flaked almonds

juice of half a lime

 

Paste:

2 cloves of garlic

thumb sized piece of ginger

1/2 a red chili

bunch of coriander stalks

1 heaped tsp garam masala

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp salt

1 tbsp tomato puree

1 can chopped tomatoes

 

INSTRUCTIONS

Put your cumin and coriander seeds into a  dry, heated frying pan to toast

To make your paste, blend together the garlic, ginger, chilli, coriander, garam masala, smoked paprika, salt, tomato puree, toasted seeds and can of chopped tomatoes until smooth.

Add 1 tbsp of oil to the pan and fry the scallions, and cauliflower, stirring in the paste as you go.

Pour in the coconut milk, add the chickpeas, coriander leaves and lime juice.

Serve with soy yoghurt and flaked almonds.
