Coconut Vegetable Curry Recipes

Steps:

• Put the tomatoes, garlic, ginger, cayenne, cumin, paprika, turmeric, garam masala, curry powder and a large pinch of salt in a medium Dutch oven. Stir to combine and set over medium-high heat. Bring to a strong simmer, lower the heat to medium, partially cover the pot with a lid (this will prevent splattering) and simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Turn off the heat and stir in the coconut milk. Blend until smooth with an immersion blender or in a regular blender (if using a regular blender, remove the small cap in the lid and cover the top with a kitchen towel to release steam as you blend, then return the sauce to the pot). Add the red bell pepper, zucchini, eggplant, onion and a large pinch of salt to the pot. Stir to combine and set over medium-high heat. Bring to a strong simmer, then lower the heat to medium, partially cover with a lid (this will prevent from splattering) and continue to simmer until the vegetables are tender but not mushy, about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the coconut oil until melted, about 30 seconds. Season to taste with additional salt if needed.
• Meanwhile, combine the jasmine rice and 1 1/3 cups water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then immediately reduce the heat to low. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook until the rice is tender and all the water has been absorbed, 10 to 12 minutes. Turn off the heat and fluff with a fork. Cover and allow to sit for 5 minutes.
• Divide the rice and curry between 4 bowls, sprinkle with the scallions and serve.

Steps:

• Heat the vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the cardamom pods, cinnamon stick and clove and cook, stirring, until the whole spices are toasted, about 20 seconds.
• Add the onions, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the ginger and garlic and cook, stirring, until golden, about 2 minutes. Add the coriander, cumin, chili powder and turmeric; cook, stirring and scraping the pan, until the ground spices are toasted, about 30 seconds.
• Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring, until they break down, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in 1 1/4 cups water and the coconut milk. Add the potatoes, eggplant, cauliflower and serrano; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low; cover and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
• Add the green beans and simmer, uncovered, until tender, 5 minutes. Thin the curry with water, if necessary. Discard the serrano and season with salt. Serve with rice and top with cilantro.

Steps:

• Heat the oil over medium heat, add the onions and cook until softened but not coloured; about 10 minutes.
• Add the ginger, garlic and chilie and cook a further couple of minutes.
• Add the curry paste, stir and cook a couple of minutes before adding the carrot, sweet potato and pumpkin.
• Add the can of coconut milk and a can of water and allow to cook uncovered until the sauce has reduced and thickened a bit and veg almost cooked. This takes me about 40 minutes.
• Add the can of chickpeas and the softer veggies-broccoli, capsicum and zucchini and cook a further 10 minutes (or to your liking) with a lid on.
• Just before serving, stir through the spinach leaves, lime juice and fresh coriander leaves. Keep stirring gently until the leaves are wilted.
• Serve as part of a curry meal.

Steps:

• Melt the coconut oil in a large, high-sided pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 2 minutes, until just beginning to sweat. Add the jalapeño and garlic, and sauté for 1 minute, until just fragrant. Add the bell pepper and eggplant, and cook for 3 minutes, until the eggplant begins to soften.
• Add the curry paste and brown sugar and stir to coat the vegetables, making sure there are no large clumps of curry paste. Pour in the coconut milk and stir to combine until the milk is stained from the curry paste. Stir the in diced tomatoes and chickpeas, and bring to a gentle simmer for 5 minutes.
• Once the curry is simmering, add the spinach, half at a time, and stir until wilted. Remove the pan from the heat.

Steps:

• Wrap tofu in 2 to 3 layers of paper towels and place on a plate. Place a second plate on top to encourage fluid out of the tofu. Let sit until paper towels are saturated, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking tray.
• Discard wet paper towels and cube tofu. Place on the prepared baking tray.
• Bake in the preheated oven until adequately dry, about 20 minutes.
• While the tofu is baking, drain pineapple chunks, reserving juice.
• Combine coconut milk, liquid aminos, ginger, curry paste, chili powder, curry powder, and garlic in a large skillet over medium heat. Add reserved pineapple juice and bring to a boil. Reduce temperature to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
• Mix cornstarch and water together in a small bowl; add to the coconut milk mixture and whisk until slightly thickened.

Steps:

• Heat ghee in a large saucepan over low heat. Add onion, garlic, and curry powder. Cook and stir until onion is soft and curry powder is fragrant, 7 to 10 minutes. Add coconut milk and carrots. Bring to a boil, stirring often.

• Add broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, and water; simmer, covered, until all vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Drain the tofu, cube and fry in 1 tbsp canola oil until brown. Set aside. (See this thread: http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=170177) I recommend freezing the tofu first to firm up the texture.
• Separately blanch or steam the broccoli, carrots and sugar snap peas until tender-crisp in plain boiling water.
• Heat a wok or wide skillet over high heat until hot. Add 1 tbsp canola oil, swirl to glaze the pan, then add the onions and bell pepper. Stir-fry until tender-crisp, 3-4 minutes. Add the mushrooms and stir until hot, a few minutes more. Add the blanched vegetables and and tofu. Toss to mix.
• Combine the coconut-curry sauce ingredients. Taste and adjust the sugar to your liking.
• Add the sauce to the pan with the veggies. Bring to a simmer, tossing to combine.
• Dissolve the cornstarch in 1 1/2 tbsp of water and add to pan. Stir until the sauce turns glossy, about 10 seconds (a bit longer if you're doubling the sauce).
• Add the peanuts.
• Serve with rice, noodles, or a warm loaf of bread.
• Use a milder or hotter curry powder to vary the spice.
• For a really saucy dish to serve over rice or noodles, double the sauce ingredients and the cornstarch mixture.
