How to make a vegetarian vegetable curry?

Admittedly, there is a bit of chopping involved in preparing this curry, but the reward is all the greater-a healthy and flavorful curry that fills the house with delightful aromas.

Preparing the vegetables

Many vegetables mean a lot of preparation. But once that's done, the cooking itself is quite straightforward.

Remove the skin from the garlic cloves and chop them finely. Also, remove the skin from the onion and slice it into rings.

Next, the vegetables that need peeling: the potatoes and the carrots. After peeling, cut the potatoes into small cubes. Halve the carrots lengthwise twice to get four long pieces, then chop them into small pieces.

Cut off the top and bottom of the bell pepper. This allows you to easily remove the seeds from the middle part, and then remove the green stem. Chop the remaining flesh into small pieces.

Now, take the chili peppers and ginger. Remove the stem from the chili peppers, halve them lengthwise and remove the seeds, then chop them into small pieces. Peel the ginger and chop it into small pieces.

Halve the tomatoes and remove the stem attachment, then chop them into small pieces. Also chop the cilantro.

Lastly, the cauliflower. Remove the leaves and the thick stem to make it easier to handle, then cut the small florets off.

Making the curry sauce

Heat the olive oil. Sauté the onion in the oil for about a minute. Then add the ginger, garlic, and chili peppers, and let them cook for another minute.

Next, add the tomatoes and water to the pot. Bring everything to a boil and let it simmer for about ten minutes until the tomatoes are cooked. In the meantime, you can add the spices: turmeric, cumin, salt, chili flakes, and ground coriander seeds.

Now blend the mixture into a smooth curry sauce using a mixer.

Cooking the vegetarian vegetable curry

In the final step, we'll now cook the remaining vegetables in the curry sauce. Meanwhile, you can start cooking the rice as well. Both should be ready around the same time.

We pour the curry sauce into a large wok. As we bring the sauce to a boil, we add the potatoes, carrots, bell pepper, and cauliflower florets. Let the curry simmer for ten minutes until the vegetables are cooked.

Add the finely chopped fresh cilantro at the very end. By then, the rice will also be ready. Time to grab some deep plates and serve the aromatic vegetarian vegetable curry with rice!
