Your best veggie curry recipe?

Got a load of veg to use up so thought I would make vegetable curry tonight, I always like the idea but end up underwhelmed with the end result.
How do you make yours?
TIA

I've got a good one involving coconut milk - will see if I can dig it out...

Mine - I whizz up garlic, ginger, tomato and onion to a paste.

then cook cumin seeds and mustard seeds in oil. When they start to pop, add whatever veggies [usually parboiled and chopped] including raw chillis, and fry them off. Then add turmeric, garam masala, coriander and once that has had a minute or two, add the tomato paste. Cook for around 20 mins, adding water to keep it moist. Whilst that cooks, the rice goes on.

Taste for seasoning, add salt if it needs it.

Serve with chopped coriander on the top.

I soften some onion in oil. I use pataks korma paste (but no coconut milk, just the paste, so it is not creamy or sweet).
To the onion I add the paste, followed by whatever veg we have to use. Favourites are potato and cauliflower but you can use anything. I add a tin or two of tomatoes, and a bit of hot water if too dry. Simmer for approx 1 hour. It freezes well so I make loads.

Sorry for grubby print out - you could prob ignore the squash bit if you don't have one

tastes even better when frozen then defrosted and veg have gone a bit mushy

I don't make mixed vegetable curries but tend to use one specific vegetable e.g. Mushroom Curry

400g chestnut mushrooms (they don't go as slimy as white ones) sliced
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed
small piece of ginger, peeled and grated or finely chopped
1 green chilli, half the seeds removed (or to taste) and chopped
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
1 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
salt
Good quality chopped tomatoes with some juice
Oil
Plain yoghurt
Fresh coriander

  • Heat the oil in a wok or chefs pan and get the seeds going until they start to pop and smell aromatic
  • Now add the onion and chilli and stir fry until softened
  • Now add the garlic, ginger, turmeric, mushrooms and stir fry until everything is combined
  • Finally add the chopped tomatoes and salt. Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally until everything is tender and the sauce has reduced and thickened.... 15-20 minutes
  • Finally, take off the heat and stir in a tablespoon of plain yoghurt and plenty of fresh coriander.
