Mild Vegetable Curry

Instructions

1. Wash, peel and dice the potato, sweet potato or plantain.
 
2. Dice the onion.
 
3. Heat the oil in a saucepan and add the potato, onion and cauliflower with the curry powder and sauté for about 5 minutes.
 
4. Stir in the flour and chickpeas, then add the milk or coconut milk.
 
5. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stir gently and cook uncovered for a further 15 minutes.
 
6. Wash and roughly shred the spinach leaves and add to the pan. Allow the spinach to 'wilt' into the mixture.
 
7. Serve warm.

Tip

Using a clean, sealable container, freeze the remainder of the curry. Toddler-size portions can be defrosted and reheated for future use.

As an alternative, try replacing the chickpeas with diced tofu. Children will enjoy dipping chapatti (Indian flat bread) into the creamy sauce.

Good to Know

It is great to introduce your child to a wide variety of flavours from an early age. This mild curry tastes best with coconut milk.
