Ingredients
For the curry paste:
- 10g fresh ginger, grated
- 5g fresh turmeric, grated
- 5g cumin seeds, toasted and ground (easily done in the airfryer for 1-2 mins)
- 5g coriander seeds, toasted and ground
- 2g cayenne pepper
- 10g curry powder
- 100ml coconut milk
For the curry:
- 500g diced pumpkin
- 300g sweet potato, peeled and cubed
- 200g carrots, peeled and chopped
- 100g spinach
- 500ml vegetable stock (see FODMarket for a great hack)
- 200ml coconut milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Method
First make the curry paste. In a small bowl, combine the ginger, turmeric, cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper, and curry powder. Stir in the coconut milk to form a smooth paste.
Next roast the vegetables. Preheat the oven at 200°C or roast them in an airfryer (check the manual for cooking temperatures and times). Toss the diced pumpkin, sweet potato and carrots with a little olive oil, salt and pepper. If cooking in the oven, spread the vegetables on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes or until tender. If using an airfryer, toss occasionally and cook until tender.
Then it’s time to cook the curry. Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the curry paste and cook for a few minutes, stirring constantly. Add the roasted vegetables and vegetable stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the vegetables are soft. Stir in the spinach and coconut milk. Cook for a few more minutes, until the spinach is wilted.
Serve the curry hot with a dollop of lactose free Greek yoghurt and wheat free Naan bread. Enjoy…
Tips
- For a spicier curry, add more cayenne pepper or a pinch of chilli flakes
- You can adjust the amount of coconut milk to your desired level of richness, but enure you don’t exceed the allowed amount per portion of 100ml
- For a creamier curry, blend a portion of the vegetables before adding them back to the pot
- Try other low FODMAP vegetables for different flavour, such as aubergine or courgette
- You can also add meat, fish or tofu for a different flavour
- Left overs freeze well or save some for tomorrow’s lunch – it always tastes better the next day
