Recipe based on one from BBC Good Food. Lots of lovely spices but coconut oil is also beneficial for immunity.
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 large onion , peeled and diced
- 1 plump red chilli , seeds removed if you want, finely chopped
- thumb-sized piece of root ginger, peeled and grated
- 2 large waxy potatoes peeled and cut into bite-sized chunks
- 2 tbsp curry paste or powder
- 1 medium cauliflower, broken into florets
- 400ml can coconut milk
- 6 hard-boiled eggs, halved lengthways
- 2 tbsp toasted flaked almonds (optional)
- large handful of roughly chopped fresh coriander
- 4 garlic cloves , finely chopped
Method
Stir the chilli, garlic and ginger into the onion mixture and fry for 2 minutes in the coconut oil. Raise the heat a little, add the potatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the outsides are just softening. Stir in the curry paste/powder, cook for 1 minute, then toss in the cauliflower and stir fry for a further 1 minute to coat.
Pour the coconut milk into the pan and stir thoroughly. Add some salt, raise the heat and bring to the boil, stirring frequently, then half cover the pan and reduce to a slow simmer. Cook the curry for 20-25 minutes, stirring often, until the sauce has thickened slightly and the vegetables are tender.
Half bury the eggs yolk-sides up in the sauce, then cover and continue to simmer gently for a further 1-2 minutes to heat through. Serve with a scattering of toasted almonds, if liked, and coriander.
