Spinach and Quorn Curry


I made this up tonight and it turned out really really good. I used inspiration from some Sag Aloo recipes. Eat it with some red onion chutney or lime and pickle chutney. yummmm.

for 2 people who like to eat a lot
a big bunch of fresh spinach or a bag of it
1 small onion
2 cloves of garlic
1 inch piece of ginger
1 green Birdseye chili
4 med tomatoes
1 tbsp lemon juice
quorn or tofu or mushrooms
4 mushrooms
ground coriander
ground cumin
garam masala

Cut the onion, garlic and ginger and chili in big chunks and blend with some water using a wand/stick type mixer or food processor. You only need enough water to make sure it blends down to a paste. Heat a pan with some olive oil and add this paste to it. Cook for a bit and then add your 1/2 tomatoes that have been cut up into chunks. Add the lemon juice. Throw in sliced mushrooms and quorn. Chop up your fresh spinach and add that too with some sea salt. Season with the spices. I used about a 1/2 - 1 teaspoon each of coriander and cumin. Simmer for a bit and then add the rest of the tomatoes and the garam masala at the end and just cook a little bit more. Garam Masala tastes so good and you can add as much as you like. You can add a bit of plain yogurt as well for more creamy texture. Serve with brown rice.
