This is a mild curry dish but you can add chilli powder or fresh chilli if you prefer something spicier. I added some raisins for a touch of sweetness.

Serve it with wholegrain rice or naan and plenty of fresh coriander on top.

How to make this cauliflower and aubergine curry

This is a really straightforward recipe that you can have ready on the table in 40 minutes. It makes great leftovers the next day as the flavours will have had even more time to develop.

First, you will need to gently fry the onion with the spices and tomato puree. You can then add the vegetables, vegetable stock and raisins and let everything simmer for 15 minutes.

At this stage add the coconut milk and drained chickpeas and cook for a further 15mins. Season to taste and serve with chopped chillis and fresh coriander. Et voilà!

Recipe Adaptations

• Make it lower-fat: swap full fat coconut milk for light coconut milk.
• Additional toppings: serve with (dairy-free) yoghurt or cream
