From diabetes.org.uk

A deliciously tasty vegetable curry with paneer and chickpeas. Topped with spicy, crispy roasted cauliflower.
Serves 4        
Prep 20 minutes        
Cook 25 minutes
  
Ingredients
2 tsp oil
500g cauliflower, in small florets
2 tsp turmeric
2 onions, chopped
1 large sweet potato, cubed
1 red pepper, chopped
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tbsp medium curry powder paste
1 low-salt vegetable stock cube, dissolved in 400ml water
100g paneer
240g chickpeas, drained
80g frozen peas, defrosted
2 tbsp 0% fat yogurt

Method
  1. Preheat the oven 180°C/gas mark 4 and lightly oil a baking sheet with 1 tsp of oil.
  2. Rinse the cauliflower in cold water, shake off any excess, then add to a bowl. Sprinkle with turmeric and mix well. Place on the baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes, until the edges are starting to char, then set aside.
  3. Meanwhile, add 1 tsp oil to a pan and add the onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened, but not browned.
  4. Add the sweet potato, red pepper, garlic, cumin and curry paste, then cook for a further 2-3 minutes, stirring regularly.
  5. Pour over the stock, mix well, cover, then simmer for 8-10 minutes until the potato is almost tender.
  6. Add the paneer, chickpeas and peas, then continue to boil without the lid for 5-6 minutes. Stir in the yogurt and serve topped with the roasted cauliflower.
Chefs tips
  • Experiment with mixed beans or cannellini beans rather than chick peas.
  • Try adding different vegetables such as 150g fresh spinach or mushrooms.
  • Freezing instructions: Suitable for freezing once cooked. Defrost in the fridge or microwave, then reheat until piping hot throughout.
