I know what you're thinking...Kale Tofu?! But don't knock it until you've tried it. This is a vegan version of my mum's take on Saag Paneer (spinach and paneer curry) in which she uses kale instead of spinach. It is a huge hit with us all; but since my husband became Vegan a few years back I have been swapping the paneer for tofu so that we can all enjoy it.
This dish is simply spiced and tastes particularly good the next day once all of the flavours have settled into the tofu even more!

I LOVE a green curry. I'm not talking about a Thai Green Curry (although I love those too!) but a basic Gujarati bung-in-all-your-greens-with-some-Indian-spices curry. They are fresh, healthy and super quick to cook. Oh and a treat for those taste-buds too.
A couple of days ago I made this beaut solely using handpicked veg/herbs from the garden. There is nothing more satisfying than eating a home-cooked AND home-grown meal! The best thing about this Green Garden Curry is that you can use any greens you like. Just bung 'em in and enjoy after the spices have worked their magic. This is a cheat's version of the classic Saag Paneer, using cupboard spices and seasoning. If you don't have a spice tin you can still make this Saag Paneer! Just omit the mustard seeds and cumin - it will taste delicious. For a Vegan friendly alternative, just swap the paneer for tofu.
I chucked this together one evening when I really fancied Saag Paneer, but was too lazy to consider chopping garlic and onions or grating ginger (shocking, I know!). The only thing I had to chop was the paneer and boom! Dinner was served! I have called these Falafel Patties, as they are a slight variation on the traditional Middle Eastern Falafel. I was eager to use the fresh ajmo (carraway) growing in my garden, so I added this along with some cannelini beans for a creamier texture.
This recipe makes at least 20 falafel...and we finished the whole lot in one lunchtime! Try it - you will love them. I have not yet met anybody who doesn't enjoy Pav Bhaji. This famous Indian street food is a hot, tasty blend of vegetables served on buttered bread rolls. I love it even more because it's a delicious way to use up odds and ends, and it's so simple to cook!
