Read MoreThis vegan curry is oozing with wonderful flavours – earthy cumin, coriander and turmeric are lifted by the chilli and fresh ginger. It’s a great, easy supper. The sauce makes a versatile base and you can add in your favourite veggies, such as aubergines, courgettes, tomatoes, broad beans and peas.
