1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan, add the curry paste and fry for 1 min. Add the sugar and lemon juice, cook for 1 min, then tip in the courgettes and cauliflower and cook for 2 mins. Now stir in the passata, plus 100ml/3½fl oz water and the chickpeas, season to taste. Bring to the boil, cover with a lid and simmer for 15 mins. Make up to this stage and freeze or keep chilled for 2 days in the fridge. Warm through, once defrosted if frozen, and continue with the recipe.
2. Just before serving, throw in the spinach, give it a stir and remove from the heat once the leaves have just wilted. Serve with boiled basmati rice.

  I'm not that great a cook but I found this nice and easy. Turned out to be absolutely delicious - my flatmates were impressed. As a student as well it's quite good to freeze then microwave when I need a quick meal later in the week. I served it up with some rice too.

  One of my more successful dishes. Very easy and quick and I'm sure alternative vegetable could be used.

  Very easy to make. I used frozen spinach which worked fine.

  This was really easy lovely stuff, I absolutely love the hot tanginess of the sauce. I changed it slightly by adding mushrooms and red peppers, and I used broccoli instead of cauliflower. I also added a tin of chopped tomatoes instead of the passata, and also made my own vindaloo sauce. To lower the GI rating I used a tbsp of Agarve syrup instead of the brown sugar. Really recommend this and would definately make again!

  Hi Guys, It would be great to have a simple momochrome recipe print rather that a print of the entire screen as this might save people time and money. I don't know about others but all I need is cler instructions rather than pictures! Keep up the good work Cheers Kieran

  First dish I've done and not given 5 stars. For me the taste wasn't there, rather dull. Won't be doing again. :0(
