FOOD maltatoday 12 | SUNDAY • 7 OCTOBER 2018 Method 1. This quick and easy vegan curry is creamy and delicious and takes minimal cooking time. Simply throw all the curry paste ingre- dients into a blender and blend until smooth to make your curry paste. Feel free to try different combinations of spices and blends until you find what works for you – cinnamon for a sweeter taste, more chilli if you prefer your curries hot. 2. Heat up the coconut oil in a pan and throw in your chopped up cauliflower florets and chickpeas, cook these for 5 minutes then add your curry paste. Allow the curry paste and vegetables to heat through for approximately 5 minutes then add 100 ml of boiling water – bring this to the boil for 5 mins and then add your coconut milk, spinach, nuts and any other ingredients you choose to throw in and allow it to cook on high heat for approximately 5 mins. Turn down the heat and allow it to simmer until the water reduces and the curry thickens. Taste and adjust seasoning – if desired – add a sprinkle of brown sugar for a sweeter curry. 3. Once your curry is nice and creamy, serve it on some fluffy basmati rice or with poppadom.
