Serves: Approx. 5

Method:

1. Add cubed kumara to medium sized pot with enough water to cover and boil for 5-10 mins until soft but not fully cooked. Once done, drain and set aside.

2. Finely chop garlic, ginger and onions and add to a large, oiled (I like to use coconut oil) pot

3. Sauté until onion is soft.

4. Add chickpeas and all vegetables to large pot and stir. Cover with lid and let it sit on a low-medium heat for 10 mins.

5. Add stock paste, tomato paste, tomatoes, coconut cream and all the spices and stir. Cover and simmer for 20 mins stirring every 5-10 mins.

   Serve with rice/quinoa and a drizzle of fresh lime juice and as always... enjoy :)

Ingredients:

3-4 Garlic Cloves
1 large Onion
3 cm cube Fresh Ginger
2 cups 3cm cubed Kumara
2 Capsicums (colour of choice)
1 large roughly chopped Carrot
2 cups roughly chopped Zucchini or Broccoli
2x 400g cans organic Chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
1-2 Tbsp Vegetable Stock Paste (or one stock cube)
2 Tbsp Tomato Paste
400g chopped Tomatoes
400ml Coconut Cream*
Spices:
1-2 Tbsp Curry powder
2 tsp Turmeric
10-15 leaves Fresh Basil
2 tsp Paprika
1 tsp Graham Masala

Notes:

*If you prefer a thinner curry, substitute 200ml coconut cream for any nut milk of your choice (I like to use almond milk).

• Vegetables can be substituted with any that you have at home.

• For some texture, sprinkle some roughly chopped roasted cashews over the top. It adds a beautiful crunch.

• For an added kick, you can add some chilli flakes (or powder) in with the spices.
