Notes

Variations: 
  • Substitute the cauliflower for sweet potato cubes or butternut squash.
  • Add a handful of baby spinach at the end of cooking. It will wilt in the residual heat of the dish.
  • If you're catering for fussy vegetable-phobic kids, you can't go wrong with a handful of frozen peas and green beans.
 
Storage:
The curry can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for use at a later date.
