Veggie curry?!
Mr!. Jungle, aka 'Himself' is famously fond of a hot curry!. Unfortunatley he's never thought of the morning after consequences and is subsequently banned from the ensuite bathroom at weekends!.
I made a veg curry last week by adapting a much loved meat recipe but it was like eating hot cardboard!.
Can someone please supply me with a veg curry recipe that would satisfy most palates and dietary backgrounds!?
Thanks in advance!. =)Www@FoodAQ@Com

I can but first you need to accept the Catholic churches ruling in the 18th century that Beavers were fish (because of the tail) so you can eat them on Good Friday!.
Oh, and we need to re-think the definition of vegetable to include all fish as they are none to bright and inclined to take root if planted in the ground!.
Fry your beaver, add onions and then a can of Pataks curry sauce, bobs yer uncle, no more tummy rot!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Having been taught by a lovely Indian friend, I used to blend my own spices!. However, I now use Pataks pastes which are very authentic!.
Chop your onions and fry them in ghee [clarified butter] until soft then mix in the curry paste!. Add veggies such as peppers, mushrooms, carrots, cauliflower florets tomatoes and any other veg you like!. Add water if need be, though tinned tomatoes should give you enough liquid!. If you've added water and the juice is too runny, add lentils!. These will thicken it up!. If you find the curry too hot, add natural fresh yoghurt or cream!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I use curry paste and fry onion!. Then I add garlic, ginger and fry a little more!. Then I add a few sticks of celery!. Add a tin of chopped tomatoes and a can of drained and rinsed lentils (if no lentils, try drained kidney beans)!. Then toss in a handful of frozen peas and a bit of water and simmer until done!.
I tend to find broccoli, mushrooms and cauliflower unpalatable in curries!. I dont know why as I like them elsewhere!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

We get a curry sauce from the supermarket then add quorn!. It's very nice when served with samosas and naan bread!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Just substituting veg' for meat in a curry recipe doesn't work!. You have to allow for the lack of fat from the meat, different cooking times and adjust the mix of spices as well!.
Try this one!. Sorry, I haven't converted the amount of cauliflower to an exact weight yet!. The magic ingredient is the little bit of ginger: it makes all the difference!.
Add a small bunch of fresh chopped parsley: it's supposed to counteract "Gandhi's Revenge"!.
