Then add the chopped onion, reduce the heat and cook for 3 - 5 minutes until soft, stir frequently.

Add all the spices, the garlic and the ginger and cook on a medium heat taking care to ensure the spices don't burn.

Add the main vegetable(s) and sugar and stir well making sure all the vegetables are well coated in the spices.

Cook for 5 minutes stirring occasionally.

Add the vegetable stock, tomato purée, a pinch of salt and the bay leaf. Stir then lower the heat and cook gently for 25 minutes.

Finally add the coriander and tomato, stir and cook for a further 3 minutes.

Hints

You can stir in a little plain yoghurt at the end to soften the flavours a little if it is a bit too spicy.

Alternately you can add a little coconut milk near the end too.
