Broccoli is such a versatile ingredient that can be eaten raw, steamed, stir-fried, sauteed or roasted. Anti-inflammatory and with antioxidant properties, it is a nutritional powerhouse. You can find more recipe inspiration here.
Roasting the vegetables first intensifies the flavour of the broccoli and gives the potatoes a lovely bite.

How to make this roasted broccoli and potato curry?
First, you will need to parboil the potatoes in boiling water so they can be roasted at the same time as the broccoli.
To give this dish some lovely flavours, the vegetables are then tossed in vegetable oil and garam masala before being roasted in the oven.
While the broccoli and potatoes are cooking, you can start preparing the tomato base for the sauce. The tomatoes are simmered with coconut milk, peanut butter, and chickpeas in a flavoursome base of sauteed onions, garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, chilli flakes, and turmeric.
Once the vegetables are cooked, simply stir them carefully in the tomato sauce until combined and serve this curry straightaway with naan bread, fresh coriander, lime, peanuts, and some extra chilli flakes. Enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions about this broccoli and potato curry
You could freeze it but I do not recommend it as the texture of the vegetables may change when thawed. It’s best to consume this curry fresh or refrigerate leftovers for a few days.
Store leftover curry in an airtight container in the fridge. It can be reheated in a microwave or on the stovetop.
This curry goes well with rice, naan, roti, or any flatbread. It can also be served with a side of yoghurt or a cucumber salad.
