My favourite combination of Indian vegetable curry, unites turmeric roasted cumin, coriander and chilli flakes. Fresh coriander is a a must in every Indian curry and provides a refreshing herbal note. Serve the curry as a meatless main dish with rice or in speciality wrap breads. I used spinach and herb wraps in this recipe but whole grain wraps are delicious too.

Irrespective of the socio-economic background in India aloo dum is possibly the most common vegetable curry in India. The basic version which is made of boiled potatoes tempered with Indian spices is a dry sort of curry. But we’re going to go all out and create the flavour explosion by adding some tomato, peas cashews and more.
