Vegetable Bhuna is a delicious and comforting dish. The addition of tofu makes it a bit more substantial, and it's super healthy as it features peppers, spinach and onions too!

Easy Vegetable Bhuna

onions

ginger

garlic

green chillies

turmeric

cumin powder

tsp coriander

tsp garam masala

450 g tofu (-

500 g tomatoes (~6 tomatoes

tomato purée

peppers (-

spinach

water

Fry the onion and chillies off in 1-2 tbsp vegetable oil for 15-20 minutes, continually stirring them. The onions should brown quite nicely, but don’t let them burn. Start on a high heat then reduce down to medium.

Next, blend the tomatoes with the tomato puree until smooth, it should be a thick mixture. Like a smoothie.

Pop in the garlic, ginger and chillies with the onion, still over a medium heat. Stir well.

Then add all of the spices and the chopped tofu, and make sure everything is nicely coated. Cook for 1 minute, to allow for the spices to become fragrant.

Pour in the tomato mixture and 100ml water.

Simmer for 10 mins (uncovered), to allow the sauce to thicken and reduce.

Pop in the chopped pepper and cook for 5 minutes more.

Wilt in the spinach and then season with a generous amount of salt. Serve and enjoy!

Bhuna is a spiced, Indian curry typically made with chicken or other meat in a creamy, spiced tomato-yogurt sauce. Here, we’re using cauliflower and lots of veggies for a vegetable bhuna that’s packed with flavor and just as satisfying! Tender crisp fenugreek roasted veggies folded in a creamy tomato curry finished with a cumin spiced oil - tadka

Vegetable Bhuna (North Indian Vegetable Curry)

fenugreek leaves

cauliflower florets

salt

red onion

ginger-garlic paste

garam masala (or to taste)

coriander

smoked paprika

tomato paste

non-dairy yogurt (or use non dairy cream

chickpeas

cumin seeds

bay leaf

onion

bell pepper

cilantro, pepper flakes, lemon juice

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil. Once the oil is hot add the fenugreek leaves and mix in. Add the cauliflower and a good pinch of salt, cover, and cook for 3-4 minutes or until brown on some edges, stirring once in between. (If you are using root vegetables, you should add them in the beginning alongside the cauliflower)

Then add the rest of the vegetables and salt and mix in. If the skillet is too dry then add 2-3 tablespoons of water and mix in. Cover and cook until the cauliflower is al-dente.

Remove the vegetables from the skillet into a bowl and set aside.

Cook the vegetables.

Add the 2 teaspoons of oil, onion, and a good pinch of salt and cook. Add a few splashes of water in between and continue to cook for 5-8 minutes or until the onion is golden. Add the ginger garlic paste and the spices and mix in for a few seconds. Add the tomato paste, yogurt, and 1/2 a cup of water or non dairy milk. Mix in and bring everything to a boil.

Add the reserved vegetables back to the skillet along with the chickpeas, toss and take off the heat.

Make the bhuna masala sauce.

Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot add the cumin seeds and cook until the cumin seeds change color. 2-3 mins. Then add the bay leaves and mix in. Add the onion, bell pepper, fenugreek leaves, and a good pinch of salt. Continue to cook until the pepper is slightly softened, 3-4 minutes. You don&#39;t want to overcook the veggies, they should have a little bit of a “bite” to them.

Transfer the topping to the skillet with the vegetables and sauce and toss everything really well. Cover and place it back on the stove for 1-2 minutes and switch off the heat.

Let the skillet stay covered for the next 5 minutes for the flavors to meld. Then top with some cilantro and lemon juice. Serve with flatbread, naan, or rice.

Make the spiced oil topping.

Another tasty dish!  We just finished eating this, and it was a hit with the hubby also.

Next time I will be more generous with the garam masala, and also add a bit more milk because I like things saucier.


There’s just two of us so there’s leftovers for tomorrow’s lunch, another good thing.
