Top Tips:
Switch out the vegetables, to whatever you have in the cupboard (or in surplus).
Why not try adding Quorn pieces to the curry too? Simply add in from frozen for the last 15/20 minutes of the simmering time.

Parboil potatoes for 8-10 minutes and drain.
Meanwhile make the curry paste by blending together the dried spices, with chillies, ground almonds, groundnut oil and tomato puree.
Sweat onions, garlic and ginger in a large saucepan on low heat until soft then add the curry paste and cook for a further 2-3 minutes.
Add chopped tomatoes, parboiled potatoes, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, carrots and cauliflower and water and cook until tender then add coconut milk and simmer.
Meanwhile, blanche beans in boiling water for a few minutes then drain and run under cold water to stop them cooking.
Once the curry sauce has reduced by one third, turn off the heat and add the beans.
Serve with basmati rice cooked in coconut milk, a few cherry tomatoes and garnish with the chopped herbs.
