Recipe - Cauliflower Sweet Potato And Chickpea Curry Thornton

FOR A LARGE AMOUNT OF CURRY
1 tablespoon Peanut oil; or more
One half tablespoon Butter
1 lg Onion
2 Cloves garlic; crushed
1 tablespoon Fresh cilantro
1 Cauliflower
1 lg Sweet potato OR 2 large
potatoes
8 ounce Canned chickpeas
1 tablespoon Curry paste or powder
One half pt Creamed coconut
Black pepper
Salt
1 teaspoon Dried ginger
Chili powder

Chop the onion and crush the garlic, add to the hot oil and butter in a
very large pan with lid. Fry over a medium heat for about 5 minutes.
Peel/dice the sweet potato and wash/chop the cauliflower into bitesized
pieces. When the onion and garlic are soft, add the curry paste or stir a
little hot water into the curry powder to make a paste and add with a pinch
of chilli powder (depending how hot you like your curry!) to the mixture,
stirring well. Stir in the minced potato and cook for another 5 minutes,
taking care the mixture does not stick to the bottom of the pan and burn.
Then add enough water to cover the potato, adding the chickpeas, coriander,
ginger, black pepper and salt.

Cover and simmer for about half an hour. Then add the cauliflower and
creamed coconut. More liquid may be needed. Simmer gently, stirring
occasionally to prevent sticking, until the cauliflower is tender. The
creamed coconut thickens and adds flavour to the curry sauce.

Notes: You can choose how hot you make this filling curry. The sweet potato
adds an extra dimension to the dish but you can use your usual type of
potato if you prefer. Serve with warmed chapati or nan bread, wellcooked
brown or basmati rice with cardamom pods and plenty of chilled lager!
