17g / 4 to 5 Garlic
5g / 1/2 Inch ginger
35g / 1 Jalapeno Pepper - deseeded
Zest of 1 lime / 1/2 Tablespoon
1/2 cup / 70g Onion
1 Teaspoon Turmeric powder
1 Teaspoon Ground Cumin

1/2 Teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon cooking oil (I have used light olive oil)
1 to 2 tablespoons water if needed while blending

👉 OTHER INGREDIENTS:
2 cups / 475ml Vegetable Broth (Low Sodium)
2 heaping cups / 150g Mushrooms - chopped (Cremini mushroom or button mushrooms)
Salt to taste (I have added 1 teaspoon Pink Himalayan salt)
3 cups / 700g Coconut milk
1 Tablespoon Corn Starch

👉 Garnish:
Lime Juice to taste (I have added 1 tablespoon)
1/2 to 3/4 cup / 30g to 45g Green Onion - chopped
Black Pepper to taste ( I have added 1/4 teaspoon)

👉 Toppings: (You can add toppings of your choice)
Protein of choice (I have added Pan Fried Tofu - Sprinkle salt and pepper on firm tofu OR SPICES OF YOUR CHOICE. Then pan fry on high heat 30 seconds each side)
Blanched Bok Choy (Blanched in SALTED boiling water for a few seconds)
Green onions - chopped
Lime juice to taste
Red chilis

▶️ METHOD: (3 servings approx.)

Start by adding cilantro stems, garlic, ginger, jalapeno, onion, lime zest, (1 TO 2 TABLESPOONS OF WATER IF NEEDED) to a blender and make a puree. (Thoroughly wash the cilantro stem to get rid of any dirt.)

Transfer the puree to a deep pot. Add turmeric, cumin, coriander, Cayenne pepper, 1/2 Tsp salt and cooking oil. Cook while switching between medium and medium-low heat until it forms a thick paste and the oil starts to separate - which means it's nicely roasted. Then add the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Once it starts to boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and cover and cook for about 10 minutes - for the flavours to develop.

Uncover and add the chopped mushrooms, salt to taste and bring it to a boil. Add corn starch to the coconut milk and mix well - make sure to get rid of any lumps. Add it to the pot and bring it to a rapid simmer and then simmer for another 3 to 4 minutes or until the corn starch is completely cooked. Turn off the heat and add the lime juice, chopped green onion and ground black pepper. Mix well. Serve it as soup or with noodles or steamed jasmine rice.

Enjoy it with noodles or with freshly steamed jasmine rice OR JUST BY ITSELF AS A SOUP with some crusty bread.

▶️ IMPORTANT TIPS:

Thoroughly wash the cilantro stems to get rid of any dirt

Make sure to cook the curry paste until it turns thick and the oil starts to separate, this will add a lot of flavour

👉 Garnish:
Lemon Juice to taste (I have added 1 teaspoon lemon juice)
Drizzle of olive oil (I have added 1/2 tablespoon organic cold pressed Olive oil)

▶️ METHOD:

Start by blending the tomatoes to a smooth puree. Prep the vegetables and set aside.

To a heated pan add the olive oil, onion, 1/4 teaspoon salt. Sweat the onions on medium heat until it's soft. It will take about 3 to 4 minutes. Adding salt to onion will release it's moisture and help it cook faster so please don’t skip it. Note we are NOT browning the onions here.

Once the onions are soft, add the chopped garlic and ginger and fry for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add the tomato paste, paprika, ground cumin, turmeric, black pepper, cayenne pepper and fry for 30 seconds. Now add the fresh tomato puree and mix well. Add the chopped carrots, red bell pepper, yellow potatoes, salt, vegetable broth and mix well. Turn up the heat. Cover and bring to a vigorous boil. Once it starts to boil, give it a mix and cover the lid. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for about 20 minutes. This will allow the potatoes to cook a bit, before we add the quick cooking vegetables to it.

After 20 minutes, uncover and add the zucchini, green beans, cooked chickpeas, parsley and mix well. Now turn up the heat and bring it to a rapid simmer. Once it starts to simmer, cover the lid and cook on medium heat (DO NOT COOK ON LOW HEAT AT THIS POINT) for about 10 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked to your liking. COOK UNITL THE VEGETABLES ARE SOFT, but at the same time don't let it get too mushy.

Uncover and turn the heat to medium high and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes or to the desired consistency. PLEASE NOTE - THIS STEW IS NOT SUPPOSE TO BE WATERY. It's more towards the thicker consistency. Turn off the heat. Garnish with fresh lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil and some chopped fresh parsley. Mix well.

Serve hot with some pita and couscous.

▶️ IMPORTANT NOTES:

👉 Adding salt while frying the vegetables will release it's moisture and help it cook faster so please don’t skip it

👉 Every stove is different so regulate the heat as required. Cooking time and intensity of heat may vary depending on the type of stove you are using
