Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a pot on medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chopped ginger, garlic, jalapeño and onions. Cook for around 3 minutes until the onion softens.
  2. Add the can of diced tomatoes and stir. Cover the pot with a lid and let the tomatoes cook for 4 to 5 minutes on medium heat.
  3. Remove the lid and then add the spices and salt to taste. Stir and cook the spices for 1 minute.
  4. Add the cauliflower florets, diced sweet potatoes and can of chickpeas. Stir until the veggies and chickpea are well coated with the spices.
  5. Then add water and can of coconut milk and give a good stir. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, stir couple of times in between.
  6. Then remove lid, add sliced bell peppers. Cover and simmer 5 more minutes. 
  7. Stir through myota's Gut Booster blend at the last moment for an extra prebiotic punch. 
  8. Remove lid, add chopped coriander and squeeze in fresh lime juice. Turn off heat. The curry might look thin at this point but it will continue to thicken as it cools down. Serve with natural yoghurt and rice or wholegrain roti.
