Nigella's tomato curry

A delicious vegetarian curry- I found this recipe in nigella's Kitchen - recipes from the heart of the home (2010). The flavours are strong and spicy - but not too hot.

Serves 4

Ingredients
Oil-2x15 mls olive oil (I used rice bran oil but any good oil will do.
2 large onions chopped
1 teaspoon salt
4 cloves garlic peeled and chopped
1kg cherry toms halved
2 teaspoons turmeric
1 teaspoon English mustard powder (I just used mustard powder)
1 teaspoon hot chilli powder
1 teaspoon garam masala
200 gams frozen peas

What to do

Heat oil in wide casserole pan with lid ( you will need it for later)
Add chopped onions and cook uncovered for 7 mins on med- low heat until onions are soft
Add chopped garlic, halved tomatoes and spices and stir
Add lid and cook on low for 20 mins
Meanwhile cook peas (I microwaved mine) .
Apparently if you add peas to curry to cook they will lose bright green coloured so cook separately and add at the end.


I served this with coconut rice and a chapati.
