"Here is a recipe that ticks lots of boxes: It takes just 30 minutes to make, it happens to be vegan and gluten-free, and it’s light on the budget. Plus, it’s delicious, nourishing and comforting! The gravy for this curry is a riff on my jammy eggs and kale recipe which is in turn a riff on a Charmaine Solomon recipe. It’s proof that good ideas keep on giving: so use the gravy to suit what you have on hand: eggs, other greens, cauliflower, sweet potato, and so on."
