Meatless Monday – Pumpkin, Cauliflower and Pea Curry

Pumpkin, Cauliflower and Pea Curry

Serves 4

This is my dream dinner because all my favourite dishes come together in one dish. Throw in a tin of lentils and you have a dinner that’s relatively quick, really easy and super nutritious. In the unlikely event that you have left overs, stash them in the freezer so that you can grab some curry in a hurry next time you’re tight for time! 

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 large  brown onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, sliced thinly

1 tablespoon finely grated ginger

1/3 cup (100g) korma curry paste
