Method

  1. Fry the onion, garlic, ginger and chilli in the oil until soft.
  2. Add the peppers and carrots and cook for 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the spices for 1 minute, then add the tomatoes and salt and simmer for 10 minutes.

Gluten-free check: Many recipes use curry powder and baked beans in sauce; both can contain wheat, so we use single spices and plain beans.
