I'd taken my eye off the garden for a few days - with the usual results.

Into the stock pot went.

4lb oversized courgettes
1lb split over ripe tomatoes
1tsp salt
1tsp cumin
1tsp coriander
1/2tsp fenugreek
1/2tsp turmeric
1tsp madras curry powder
A few garlic cloves
A bit of ginger
3-4 Mugs of water.

Simmer to a sludge and blend.

Can be used as :
Soup. With a fresh crusty wholemeal roll. 
Curry Base. Thin with water a little, add chunks of spud, mixed chunky veg (even frozen) or precooked diced meat , fresh chili peppers and a little oil, reboil to thicken. 
Curry Sauce. Add chili powder, thicken, spread on chicken, spud wedges or even chips. 

Not bad for leftovers ... everything was in my cupboard so I can almost guarantee its in yours  I got about 6 pints worth out of the pot.

Sounds lovely Lardman, and leftovers always come in at a good price.

Thanks Lardman, I found this when looking for a courgette glut recipe
I have just made it from the two huge courgettes marrows that my neighbour gave me.

I used a cheap tin of toms, cos I haven't got any ripe ones of my own, and added a couple of tablespoons of lentils. Adjusted the seasonings at the end (added chilli )...............and it's a scrumtious big panfull.....eating some with homemade bread right now!

mmmmmmmmm

I think of it as a utility sauce.

Simmer it down a little, add some lamb/pork mince and stuff courgettes/peppers/tomatoes/mushrooms with it , cover with cheese and bake. Also works as a spicy pizza topping when you forget to buy chopped tomatoes.

I love making sauces from the lotty offerings combined with stuff out the pantry. You do some of your best work that way I find

Always grow extra leeks just for these times!

Nice group of veg for soup there Lardman!
