Method

  1. Step 1

    To make the masala sauce, heat the sunflower oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Add the easy-fried onions, garlic, green chillies, and ginger. Cook for 5 minutes, or until softened and fragrant.
  2. Step 2

    Stir in the tomato puree, tinned tomatoes, ground fenugreek, curry powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala. Cook for a further 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  3. Step 3

    Transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
  4. Step 4

    Return the blended sauce to the pan. Season with salt to taste. Add the quartered vine tomatoes and simmer gently for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  5. Step 5

    While the sauce is simmering, preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan, 400°F, Gas Mark 6). Toss the sliced peppers, cauliflower florets, butternut squash cubes, and aubergine cubes with the remaining sunflower oil. Spread the vegetables on a non-stick baking tray and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until tender.
  6. Step 6

    Add the roasted vegetables and spinach to the masala sauce. Cook for a further 2-3 minutes, or until the spinach has wilted.
  7. Step 7

    Stir in the coconut yogurt and coconut milk. Heat through gently then stir in the chopped coriander.
  8. Step 8

    Transfer the masala to a serving dish and sprinkle with the toasted flaked almonds. Serve hot with rice and Indian bread.
