Method

3. Soften the rest of the onion mixture in the fat left in the pan for 2 min and stir in the curry powder and turmeric for 1 min.
4. Cut the cauliflower into small florets and dice the peppers. Add both to the pan with the passata, coconut milk and stock.
5. Add the meatballs, cover and simmer the curry for 12 min, until the cauliflower is tender-crisp and the meatballs are cooked through.
6. Scatter with chopped coriander and divide the curry between four containers. It keeps in the fridge for 3 days.
