Vegetable Curry For A Crowd

Super easy, budget-friendly vegetarian curry and extremely tasty!

This vegetable curry is one of my favourite dishes to cook, this dish has so many nutritious veggies that everyone will want more.

I am always looking for new recipes to try on my family, especially ones that will help me get more veggies into everyone's diet! This veg curry for a crowd is a winner!

During the Christmas break at a family get together, this vegetarian curry dish was one of many dishes available. It has to be one of the nicest creamiest curries that I have ever tried.

Needless to say, I had to give it a go! This recipe makes up 8 portions which make it perfect for batch cooking, chucking it in the freezer for a later date when you simply don't have enough time to cook.

I found it easy to cook, and it took me roughly 15 minutes to prepare everything and around 45 minutes to cook.

Veg curry for a crowd ingredients

• 1 Large potato ( diced)
• 1 small butternut squash ( peeled, deseeded, and diced)
• 1 Aubergine (diced)
• 6tbsp Tikka masala paste
• 3 tbsp vegetable oil
• 2 onions( sliced)
•  680-700g Jar tomato passata
• 400g Coconut milk
• 2 Red peppers (sliced)
• 2 Courgettes ( diced)

• To serve - A few sprigs of coriander, rice or naan bread.

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200C/180c fan/gas in a large roasting dish. Add the diced potato aubergine and butternut squash toss with  2tbsp oil and 2 tbsp of tikka curry paste to season the vegetables, and you need to roast these for 30 minutes.

2. In the meantime, make up the curry sauce. In a large pan, fry the onions in 1 tbsp of oil until softened and golden. You can add a splash of water should they start to dry out. Add the remaining 4 tbsp of curry paste and cook for 3 minutes. Next, add the tomato passata, coconut milk along with 100ml of water. Simmer for a few minutes.

3. Next, when the vegetables have roasted, tip them into the curry sauce along with the sliced peppers and diced courgettes. You will need to simmer for a further 10-15 until all the vegetables are tender. Scatter with the fresh coriander and serve.

This recipe went down a treat in our house this week, and I'm happy I have a few meals in the freezer! #winning
