    I usually have onion, peppers, mushrooms and tomatoes in the curry. Sometimes add carrots and cauliflower (steamed) for more veg

    In general, Cauliflower is great in curries as are Chickpeas. This time of the year I also add Squash to bulk up the veg content.

    Take care with Courgette as it can disintegrate depending on the size of the chunks & how long it is cooking.

    Note: I add my veg to the curry when cooking & don't serve as a separate side dish.

    Courgette and cauliflower are great in indian curries. Also peas.

    You could dice up some potato/sweet potato/squash into small cubes. Lightly fry for a few minutes (in oil and some dry spices) and then set aside on kitchen paper. Add back into the curry just before serving to warm up ... that way they keep a nice texture.

    Throw in a handful of frozen peas a few minutes before cooking finishes, adds colour and goes well with lamb.

    For cauliflower, can use it instead of rice. Blitz it in a food processor and then steam it for a few minutes. Serve instead of rice, gives a great flavor. Jamie Oliver has an article on it somewhere.

    Spinach or other greens, wilted down in a spicy tomato sauce or spiced butter or cream, probably with mustard seeds through it.
    Plus some sliced banana for the mild sweet contrast.
    A dollop of cool natural yogurt on the side, and a touch of lime pickle to sharpen up the taste buds again. Perfect Indian dinner.
