Vegetable Madras // A Healthy Curry
Ahh! Yes! Curry!
I never was a big curry eater. Then I went to university in Bradford. Bradford is the city of curries and it was there I found my love for lamb rogan josh, and other things spicy.
I was sent two Holy Cow curry sauces in the latest Degustabox and I had a request from a reader to do something with the sauce.
If you read my fitness blog, you’ll know that I’ve been eating healthily lately, trying to tone up and trim down, so I decided to make a vegetable madras with roast sweet potatoes and courgette.
Ingredients:
- Holy Cow madras sauce
- 1 orange pepper
- half a yellow pepper
- 1 large courgette
- 1 sweet potato
- half a red onion
- 6 mushrooms
- 2 salad tomatoes
- half a tin of sweetcorn
- greenbeens
Method:
- Pre-heat the oven at 200C
- Chop the sweet potatoes and half the courgette. You can also peel them if you wish.
- Place on a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Play the potatoes and courgette in the oven for 25 minutes
- Chop up the rest of the veg and fry. I added the courgette, pepper and onion first, then the mushrooms, tomatoes and green beans. This is also the point I realised how much veg I have, and decided not to add the sweetcorn!
- After frying for 5-10 minutes, put the veg in a pan and pour the cooking sauce over.
- Stir and leave cooking in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Take the potatoes and courgette out of the oven, turn off the hob and serve!
This healthier version of madras serves 2 – 3 and allows you to indulge a little while still being healthy.
The sauce was lovely and I could feel the spice in it. I had to go and blow my nose at one point because it gave me a bit of a kick!
What’s your favourite type of curry?

This looks lovely :). I do love a good curry especially in the Winter when you want something hearty and warming. I haven’t seen the Holy Cow range so I will have to check it out! I must say I often just stick to a Tikka Masala as I can’t take things that are toooo hot and spicy.
Corinne
Madras was a bit warmer than tikka, but it’s not too much, I hate too much spice in my foods.

This looks and sounds delicious! I am yet to try madras sauce but think I would love it as I love spicy foods. Amongst my favourites are thai green/red or korma (if that’s even considered a curry) x

I saw these in my your last box and they really appealed. This looks yummy. I think I would have to add some beef but sweet potatoe is definitely a healthier alternative Lucyx
Corinne
I’m not a fan of beef in curries. Lamb and chicken all the way!

I prefer a Thai curry myself, rather than an Indian based one. I really enjoy the creamy-ness of Thai curries. Kris on the other hand is the opposite 🙂
I always make too much food, we always take it to work the next day for hot lunch 🙂
