Corn and Vegetable Curry (recipes)


Serves 8







A substantial main dish for vegetarians, this curry is particularly good in the summer, when corn and tomatoes are at their best.







11⁄2 cups diced potatoes 375 mL

(1⁄2-inch/1 cm dice)

1 cup diced green beans 250 mL

(1⁄2-inch/1 cm pieces)

1⁄2 cup diced carrots 125 mL

2 tbsp vegetable oil 25 mL

3⁄4 tsp mustard seeds 4 mL

10 to 12 fresh curry leaves (optional) 10 to 12

2 cups corn kernels, fresh or 500 mL

frozen, thawed

3 cups chopped tomatoes 750 mL

1⁄2 cup frozen peas, thawed 125 mL

4 oz mushrooms, sliced 125 g

1 tbsp minced peeled gingerroot 15 mL

21⁄2 tbsp minced green chilies, 32 mL

preferably serranos

1⁄2 tsp granulated sugar 2 mL

11⁄2 tsp salt or to taste 7 mL

1⁄4 cup grated fresh coconut 50 mL

1 cup cilantro, chopped, divided 250 mL



1. In a saucepan over medium-high heat, bring 4 cups (1 L) water to a boil. Add potatoes, beans and carrots. Return to a boil and reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook for 3 minutes. Drain and set aside.

2. In a large saucepan or wok, heat oil over high heat until a couple of mustard seeds thrown in start to sputter. Add remaining mustard seeds and cover quickly. When seeds stop popping, in a few seconds, uncover, reduce heat to medium and add curry leaves, if using. Sauté for 1 minute.

3. Add reserved vegetables, corn, tomatoes, peas, mushrooms, ginger, chilies, sugar and salt. Mix well. Cover and cook until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add coconut and 1⁄2 cup (125 mL) of the cilantro. Toss and cook for 1 minute.

4. Garnish with remaining cilantro and serve with rice or an Indian bread.



Tip:

If you are pressed for time, use frozen mixed vegetables straight from the bag, without thawing.
