Description

This comforting curry, brimming with vibrant Indian-inspired spices and wholesome vegetables, offers a delightful and satisfying meal. Crafted with a creamy coconut-infused broth, it's a flavorful dish that's both simple to prepare and deeply nourishing. The heart of this curry features tender pieces of eggplant and zucchini, roasted to achieve a delectable softness that melts in your mouth.

These are combined with the foundational aromatics of finely diced onion and minced garlic, creating a savory base that awakens the senses. A medley of earthy spices infuses the vegetables and broth, building layers of rich and complex flavor. Fresh cilantro, added towards the end of cooking, provides a bright, herbaceous note that balances the warmth of the spices.

The coconut milk, simmered gently with the other ingredients, transforms into a luscious and creamy sauce that coats every morsel. The result is a harmonious blend of textures and tastes, where the sweetness of the coconut milk complements the subtle bitterness of the eggplant and the refreshing quality of the zucchini. Enjoy this versatile curry as a complete plant-based meal, perhaps served alongside fluffy cauliflower rice.

The mild flavor of the cauliflower rice allows the curry's intricate spice profile to truly shine. For an extra layer of flavor and textural contrast, consider adding a vibrant avocado salsa. The cool creaminess of the avocado, combined with the bright acidity of the salsa, provides a counterpoint to the warmth of the curry.

Alternatively, you can adapt this curry to your own preferences by incorporating a protein of your choice. Chicken, shrimp, or tofu would all be excellent additions, lending their unique flavors and textures to the dish. Whether enjoyed as a light yet satisfying supper or as part of a larger feast, this coconut curry is sure to please.

The ease of preparation makes it perfect for weeknight meals, while the depth of flavor elevates it to a dish worthy of special occasions. Its versatility also means it can be adapted to suit various dietary preferences and tastes, making it a welcome addition to any home cook's repertoire.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Slice the zucchini and eggplant into half inch thick discs. Arrange the zucchini and eggplant in an even layer across as large oven tray. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle over one tablespoon of the olive oil. Transfer to the oven to bake for 18-20 minutes or until tender.
    2.
    Whilst the zucchini is cooking, grate the ginger and thinly slice the onion and garlic. Heat the remaining oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Add the onion, garlic and ginger. Sweat gently for 2-3 minutes until tender and fragrant.
    3.
    Finely dice the tomato and add to the saucepan. Add the turmeric, ground coriander, cumin and curry powder. Stir well to combine and cook gently for two minutes more to soften the tomato.

    5.
    Cover and cook for 15 minutes then uncover and cook for 5 minutes more until the sauce is thick and reduced. Finely chop the cilantro and scatter over the curry to serve.
