- 2 tsp ground coriander
- 1/8 tsp chilli powder
- 1 tsp sugar

Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the cumin seeds and fry until fragrant and deep golden brown, about 30 seconds. Add the whole green chilli (pierced a few times) and cook, stirring, for around 30 seconds until the skin is blistered all over.
-
Step 2.
Reduce the heat to low. Add the new potatoes and the chopped cauliflower stalk to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 6 minutes until the potatoes and stalk just start to soften.
-
Step 3.
Add the cauliflower florets, salt, ground turmeric, ground coriander, chilli powder, and sugar to the pan. Stir well to coat the vegetables with the spices. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. The mixture will look dry, but do not add water; the vegetables will sweat and cook in their own steam.
-
Step 4.
After 5 minutes, add the sugar snap peas to the pan. Stir to combine, cover again, and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until all vegetables are tender. If you are very concerned about sticking, you can add a tiny splash of water, but try to avoid it.
-
Step 5.
While the curry is cooking, toast the flaked almonds in a small frying pan over medium heat until golden, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside.
-
Step 6.
Once the curry is cooked, squeeze lemon juice to taste over the curry. Gently fold in the toasted flaked almonds. Serve hot with cooked rice or flatbreads.
