salt & ground black pepper to taste

 

To Serve

diced cucumber & tomatoes

coriander leaves

Roti bread

Basmati rice

 

  • Preheat oven to 200°C. Add the kumara to a baking dish and toss in the oil. Bake for 10 mins only, so it remains firm.
  • Place the oil into a solid saucepan and bring to a shimmering heat. Add the cumin, coriander, mustard seed, garam masala and fry until the mustard seeds are popping. Taking care not to colour the mix too much.
  • Add the onions, ginger, garlic, chilli, and cook stirring until lightly browned.
  • Add the tomatoes, turmeric, lemon juice, sugar and water. Bring to the boil, then add the kumara and coconut cream. Season with a teaspoon of salt and a good grind of black pepper. Simmer until the kumara is cooked and the gravy has reduced to a nice coating consistency. Check seasoning.
  • Garnish with coriander leaves and serve with roti bread, steamed Basmati rice, and diced cucumber & tomatoes.
