Time 45m

Yield 4 (2-cup) servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

5 cloves garlic
1 (3-inch) chunk peeled, fresh ginger
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cinnamon stick, broken in half
1 bay leaf
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 teaspoons Madras-style curry powder
1 cup whole, peeled tomatoes (in juice) roughly chopped
1 cup whole milk yogurt
2 cups water
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
2 small turnips, peeled and quartered
2 large carrots, cut into 2-inch chunks
1 pound butternut squash, seeded and cut into 11/2 inch wedges)
1 small zucchini, cut into 2-inch-long rounds, (about 8 ounces)
1 (14-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
Freshly ground black pepper
1 lemon, juiced
Serving suggestion: Basmati rice and chutney

Steps:

  • Puree the garlic and ginger in a small food processor (mini-chopper), into a paste. Set aside.
  • Heat the butter in a Dutch oven or soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the cinnamon and bay leaf, garlic-ginger paste, curry powder and cook, stirring, until lightly browned and fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomato and yogurt and cook, stirring, until they separate from the oil and there is a distinctive sizzling sound, as the sauce "fries" in the oil, about 7 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring, for about 1 minute more.
  • Add the water, salt, and vegetables and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, about 10 to 12 minutes. Add the chickpeas, bring to a boil, and cook, uncovered, until the vegetables are tender and the liquid thickens, about 5 minutes more. Season the curry with salt and pepper, to taste, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve with basmati rice and chutney.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons safflower oil
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
1/3 cup red curry paste (from a 4-ounce can)
1 medium butternut squash, peeled and cubed (about 5 cups)
8 medium carrots or parsnips, or a combination of both, peeled and cut on the bias into 1/4-inch pieces (about 5 cups)
1 can (13.5 ounces) unsweetened coconut milk
1 can (13.5 ounces) unsweetened light coconut milk
8 mini sweet peppers, seeded and sliced (about 2 cups)
Kosher salt
Cooked rice, halved grape tomatoes, and fresh basil leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat a large, heavy pot over medium-high heat; swirl in oil. Cook onions, stirring occasionally, until just softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in curry paste, squash, and carrots; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
  • Add coconut milks. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are fork-tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Add peppers and cook until just beginning to soften, about 4 minutes. Season with salt. Reserve half of curry for next day; serve remainder over rice with tomatoes and basil.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables: The more vegetables you use, the more flavorful and nutritious your curry will be. Try to include a mix of root vegetables, leafy greens, and cruciferous vegetables.
  • Roast the vegetables before adding them to the curry: Roasting the vegetables will bring out their natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast the vegetables in the oven or on a grill.
  • Use a flavorful curry paste or powder: The curry paste or powder is what will give your curry its unique flavor. Choose a curry paste or powder that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Add coconut milk or yogurt for a creamy texture: Coconut milk or yogurt will help to thicken the curry and give it a creamy texture. You can also use a combination of coconut milk and yogurt.
  • Serve the curry with rice or naan bread: Curry is traditionally served with rice or naan bread. Rice is a good option if you want a light meal, while naan bread is a good option if you want a more filling meal.

Conclusion:

Winter vegetable curry is a delicious and nutritious meal that is perfect for a cold winter day.
