Using Leftover Ingredients to Create a Flavorful Dish

I'm excited to kick off today's tutorial on how to make a fragrant veggie curry using leftovers from your fridge. It's a great way to reduce food waste and create a delicious meal at the same time.

Firstly, I'm going to plunge into the key ingredients you'll need for this recipe. You can use any leftover vegetables you have on hand, but I recommend using courgettes, carrots, and onions for a flavorful base. These vegetables provide a great foundation for the curry and add a nice sweetness to the dish.

Moving on, let's talk about the spices you'll need. I like to use a combination of curry powder, cumin, and turmeric to give the curry its fragrant and aromatic taste. These spices will elevate the flavors of the vegetables and create a delicious curry sauce.

Once you have your vegetables and spices ready, it's time to start cooking. In a large pan, heat some oil and sauté the onions until they become translucent. Then, add the courgettes and carrots and cook until they start to soften. The vegetables should still have a bit of crunch to them, so be careful not to overcook.

Next, it's time to add the spices. Sprinkle the curry powder, cumin, and turmeric over the vegetables and stir well to coat them evenly. This will help to release the flavors of the spices and infuse them into the vegetables.

Finally, add some vegetable stock to the pan and let the curry simmer for about 15 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together and create a delicious sauce. If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can add a bit of cornstarch mixed with water to thicken it up.

Serve the fragrant veggie curry over steamed rice or with some warm naan bread. It's a hearty and satisfying meal that can be enjoyed by vegans, vegetarians, and meat-eaters alike. The combination of flavors and textures will leave you wanting more!

So there you have it, a delicious and easy recipe for a fragrant veggie curry. It's the perfect way to use up odds and ends from your weekly shop and create a flavorful and nutritious meal. Give it a try and let me know what you think!
