Instructions:

Prepare the Curry Paste:

• Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook for another 5 minutes until they soften and break down.
• Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable or chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
• Add the mixed vegetables and cooked chickpeas/protein (if using) to the curry. Stir well to combine.
• Cover the pan or pot and let the curry simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the flavours are well combined.
• Taste the curry and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.
