Vegetable Curry
Peel and slice 4 large onions and saut� them gently in about 100g of butter or ghee for about 20 minutes (don�t let the onions burn). Add 2 tsp cumin seed, 3 cloves of peeled, chopped garlic, 1� tsp chilli powder, 2 tsp paprika, � tsp turmeric, 1 tsp salt and a small piece of fresh ginger (about the size of a cherry tomato), peeled and finely chopped. Fry for a couple of minutes, then add 4 heaped tbsp tomato puree, fry for a minute or so and then add 250ml water. Let this cook for about 10 minutes, then turn up the heat to evaporate the water. When you can see the oil separating out from the onions, turn the heat down and add whatever vegetables you want (this amount of sauce will take about 1� lb of mixed veg) � hardest ones like potato, carrots etc first � and gently saut� them for about five minutes, then add the softer vegetables � like mushrooms, frozen peas etc, saut� for another few minutes, add more water until the curry is the consistence you want and gently cook until all the veg are cooked.
