Indian cuisine is perhaps the most flavourful cuisine I know. I appreciate it especially in winter, because Indian dishes are often prepared with a large amount of warming spices. The following dish includes a quite spicy tandoori masala. You can buy it ready-made or prepare according to your flavour preferences.

recipe

Peel and wash all vegetables. Chop the red onion finely. Grate the ginger and garlic on a small hole grater. Heat the oil in a frying pan, add chopped onion, grated ginger and garlic. After a few minutes add spices: bay leaves, cloves, cinnamon, coriander, cumin, tandoori masala, chilli flakes and lemon juice. Fry for a while, then add the cooked chickpeas. Dice the pumpkin, carrots and the parsley root. Slice the celery and leek. Then put all the vegetables in the pan and season with salt and pepper. Fry the vegetables for a few minutes, then pour the bouillon and cook covered over low heat, until the vegetables are tender. Finally, add the coconut cream and alternatively, if the sauce is too thin, tapioca flour mixed with a small amount of sauce from the pan. In the meantime, stir the curry to combine all the ingredients. Serve the curry with rice, pepper cut into strips and fresh coriander. Enjoy!
