The method

1

Begin by preparing the veg. Peel and chop your potatoes into medium sized chunks and break your cauliflower into florets. Crush the garlic cloves and pierce the green chillis a couple of times.

2

Heat your oven to 180°C. Tip your potatoes into a large pot and fill with water. Bring to the boil. Simmer for 5-6 minutes until slightly soft.

3

Place the potatoes and cauliflower onto a large baking tray. Sprinkle over the spices and drizzle over 2 tablespoons of oil. Toss everything together so everything is well coated. Season and roast for 45 minutes, stirring half way through until the veg is soft and starting to brown.

4

Meanwhile heat the remaining oil in a frying pan and fry the curry leaves and garlic for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, chillies, sugar, lime juice and season to your taste. Cover with a lid and simmer for 15 minutes.

5

Add the roasted veg to the tomatoes, simmer for another 5 minutes, adding water if its looking too thick. Stir through the coriander and serve with rice, naan and yoghurt. Enjoy!
