Filo-Topped Vegetable Curry

Tips and inspiration

This vegetable dish is as visually stunning as it is mouth-wateringly delicious. Perfect to serve to vegetarians or for a meat-free weekend dinner with friends.

Method

Step one

Heat the oven to 350 F (Fan 1600C/Gas Mark 4).

Step two

Cut the filo into 4-inch squares so you have 18 pieces. Brush 6 of them with butter and top with another sheet.

Step three

Brush again, top again and butter one last time. Scrunch them up into flower shapes and bake in the oven for 15-18 minutes or until golden and crisp.

Step four

Meanwhile, blanch all the vegetables except peas for 3 minutes. Drain.

Step five

Heat the oil in a saucepan, add the vegetables and stir fry for 1 minute.

Step six

Add base and main sauces from the pouches, (leave the spices for another dish) puree and peas and bring to a simmer; cook until the vegetables are done, approx. 2-3 minutes. Add the cream and take off the heat.

Step seven

Serve hot with the filo on top.
