Time: 40 minutes Serving: 4 persons

Ingredients

  • Extra virgin olive oil – This ingredient is optional (you can replace it with some water or vegetable stock).

  • Garlic

  • Onion

  • Ginger root – Feel free to replace with some ground ginger instead, if you want.

  • Zucchini.

  • Cauliflower.

  • Curry powder.

  • Ground cumin.

  • Turmeric powder.

  • Ground coriander – This spice is optional.

  • Salt – I prefer Himalayan pink salt.

  • Ground black pepper – Fresh ground black pepper is my favourite but you may use other.

  • Red pepper flakes – This depends on how spicy you like your food. Feel free to use other spices of your choice. This ingredient is optional.

  • Sweet potatoes – Regular potatoes are also a good choice.

  • Tomato paste – You can also use some tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes or even fresh tomatoes. If you use fresh tomatoes, just chop them and cook them with the other veggies.

  • Full fat coconut milk– or unsweetened coconut milk

  • Vegetable stock or water – Stock will give a better taste.

  • Baby spinach – or kale.
