This is a rambunctiously vibrant vegan curry, both to look at and eat. It is rich, sweet and hearty, with tomatoes providing a balancing acidity and the curry paste bringing uncompromising fire. Of course chillies do vary in heat, so if you’re after something a little less passage-clearing, use two rather than three, and if you want to go milder still, simply de-seed the chillies. Having said that, cooking with chillies always has a touch of roulette about it.

red chillies, stalks removed and cut into three

ginger,

garlic cloves, halved

turmeric,

tsp coriander

cinnamon

tsp sea salt flakes,

tbsp coconut oil oil
