Admittedly, this recipe requires a bit more effort than usual. It's more work and a bit more complicated. In return, you do get a nice spicy curry, which is packed with vegetables. Despite being spicy, it is anything but spicy curry. Therefore, it is also very suitable for children. Because some of the vegetables are blended you don't even realize there are so many vegetables in it. The chickpeas makes it a good vegetable source of protein.
This recipe is inspired by the recipe for Traditional Goan Korma from VEGAN by The Happy Pear ️, from Fancier curry. Compared to the other curries in the book, it is also fancy and requires some time and attention. I made it a little easier here and there.
Want it even easier? I haven't tried it, but I think the curry is also very tasty if you just cook all the vegetables in the pan and skip the oven and the blender . Maybe not as authentic, but a lot less work. I would then omit the grated coconut and almonds, though, so that the sauce stays a little smoother.
