This recipe I took from Gordon Ramsay’s book “Fast food”. In the original recipe, they use a bought one Madras paste, but I couldn’t find one, so I rode out and decided to cook it myself, moreover, it’s quite simple.
Herbs and spices give a new start to the vegetables. Boring broccoli, cauliflower, and zucchini themselves will amaze even the most skeptic ones with new flavors and bright colors. But don’t forget that this dish is also very healthy: a minimum of fat, a lot of fresh vegetables, a delicate way of thermal processing.
This vegetable curry is a great option as a side dish for meat, and also it can be a separate dish, as well, served with rice as a side dish.
It’s quite spicy, but yogurt makes it more smooth and reduces the hotness. But if it’s still too spicy for you, prepare the additional glass of yogurt, and when there is a fire in your mouse, just make a few sips from the glass.
