Seafood Curry (John Torode recipe)

I've never been a great one for using recipes (other than for baking) but as I receive a monthly copy of the BBC Good Food Magazine, I thought I should make an effort!  So yesterday, hubby and I planned a menu for the coming week, including five meal ideas sourced from the magazines.

This was the first contender, a nicely spiced but not too hot Seafood Curry by Masterchef's John Torode, and it was quite lovely.  We made a few changes, because we already had some fish and shellfish in the freezer (and we halved the ingredients, which made plenty for two people), then we served it with John's suggested accompaniment of carrot & cumin salad and some cauliflower florets, steamed in a lidded frying pan with a little oil, mild curry spices and tomato puree.


V  John's recipe allows you to make the curry sauce separately (in advance, if you wish), so making a veggie version of this would simply mean cooking a few vegetables first, then adding the sauce ... or why not make up some felafel mix and cook them in the pan before adding the sauce.  You could then serve it with rice or similar accompaniments to ours.  It really is nice enough to serve to guests, too ... but cheap enough for a midweek treat!
