    300g jar Cooks' Ingredients Onion Base For Curry
    200g jar Cooks' Ingredients Balti Curry Paste
    400g Jersey Royal potatoes, scrubbed and quartered

    8 ready-to-eat poppadums
    25g pack fresh mint, shredded
    500g tub essential Waitrose Low Fat Natural Yogurt
    3-4 Waitrose Classic Vine Tomatoes, chopped
    1 small red onion, Mango chutney

    Method

    1. Warm the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat.  Add the onion base and fry, stirring regularly, for 2 minutes.  Stir in the curry paste followed by the potatoes and 500ml boiling water.  Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes, until just tender.  
    2. Stir in the tomatoes and cauliflower florets, bring back to the boil, cover and simmer for 5 minutes.  Add the spring greens and simmer gently for 10 minutes until tender.
    3. Toast the cashew nuts in a dry frying pan over a high heat for about 2 minutes, or until they begin to scorch in patches.  Tip into a small food processor or pestle and mortar.  Add the coconut cream and process or pound into a coarse paste then stir through the curry.
    4. Meanwhile, heat the dal and poppadums according to pack instructions.  Make a raita by stirring the mint into the yogurt, and combine the tomato and red onion together to make a salad.  Serve the curry garnished with the coriander, with the chutney and accompaniments alongside.
