The rich coconut and tomato-based sauce of this beautiful roasted root vegetable curry is simply delicious. This curry is destined to impress. I like to serve it as a main with cauliflower rice. You can also enjoy as a side alongside your favourite meat or fish curry recipe.

The best thing about this curry is that it’s easy to make and if you don’t have the exact veggies, no problem! Just sub with whatever you do have, I promise you can’t go wrong and it’s a great way to use up those veggies lurking in the back of the fridge.

If I had to pick three words to sum up this recipe I’d choose: flavourful, nutritious and versatile. That makes it the perfect weeknight dinner option. This recipe makes four servings so that you can cook once, eat twice. My kinda cooking!

• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 1 tsp chilli powder

• 1 tbsp tomato puree
• 400 ml can full fat coconut milk
• ½ lemon, juiced
• 680 g jar passata rustica

To serve

• 4 tbsp coconut yogurt (I used CO YO)

Instructions

Prepare the vegetables

• Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the vegetables into a baking tray, drizzle over the coconut oil and sprinkle over the garam masala and salt, then toss everything together to make sure the vegetables are well coated. Bake for 30 minutes.

Make the sauce

• Heat the coconut oil in a saucepan, add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, coriander stems and spices. Stir continuously, ensuring that they do not burn.
• When the spices smell fragrant add the tomato puree, coconut milk, lemon juice, passata and cherry tomatoes and season with salt. Give everything a good stir, bring to a boil then reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
• When the vegetables have finished baking stir them into the curry sauce. Add the coriander and remove from the heat.
• Serve in bowls topped with 1 tbsp yogurt and 1 tbsp toasted almonds.
