Have you tried the Asian Home Gourmet spice mixes, these are gluten free, and vegetarian. Instead of adding meat to the sauces add the veggies you like and simmer as normal. These are pretty good flavoured sauces.

OK get a tsp cumin, a tsp coriander, melt it in a pan slowly, add some chopped onion and perhaps ginger/garlic. Add some veges, cook them, add maybe a can of tomatoes and a can of chickpeas, yum yum serve with yoghurt with mint in it

#1, check out the butter chicken thread that is current at the moment, it has some good recipes that are pretty easy. Just add your veggies instead of meat.

This is Sarson De Saag - made with Mustard leaves but it should be fine to replace with spinich. Sarson De Saag is most popular dish in Punjab - North India and served usually with Makki di Roti (roti made from Corn flour).
2 bunches of Saag with all thick stems and yellow flowers cut out ¾ Bunch of Spinach leaves without stems Add to BIG (heavy based) pot (don’t worry if it seems like a lot) with 3 cups of water and salt – bring to boil then simmer down for approx half an hour. Should be well reduced and tender; grind this until it is smooth with a stick blender.
While this Cooks:
Tadka - (flavouring) 6 small/medium green chillies (adjust to taste but this is not overly hot smaller chillies more heat! ) One Medium Red Onion 11 cloves of garlic 6cm of 2cm diameter ginger Salt Grind above ingredients in blender Heat 2-3 tablespoon of Butter, oil or Ghee (Not olive oil) and then add ground ingredients, fry on medium heat until light golden and fragrant. Add Tadka to the Saag – taste it to see if it has enough flavour. A second (smaller) lot of tadka may be necessary if it does not have enough flavour; I find the amount needed can vary quite a lot. The flavour will also intensify and improve if left overnight. Cook for another 10minutes on low heat until – it should be quite thick by now, add chopped paneer if desired (you can fry it if you want to be unhealthy! ) and about 1/2cup of chopped fresh coriander.
This is Very Simple recipe - will post others tommorrow when I have more time.

Thanks purely. ethereal, they sound heavenly. Have you tried firm tofu to replace the paneer in both for a dairy-free version? How do you think it would go?

Hi Regarding Tofu, I have not tried this and am not sure to be honest. I wouldn't think it would work well in the Bhurji as the paneer is the staring ingredient and the flavour and texture is important - I think it is quite different to tofu. It may work ok in the Saag as the Spinich/Saag is the more predominant flavour and Paneer is just adding protien. Hope this helps.

I make a westernised curry for my kids. First I boil some waxy potatoes until just cooked, then refresh them in cold water.
I fry some onions for a good 10 minutes till caramalised and sweet. I then add some garlic ginger curry powder and peas. Once the peas are just cooked I add half a tin of chopped tomatoes a cup of vegetable stock and the potatoes. I simmer for about 10 minutes then add a dash of cream.
Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve with rice.
Its not a real indian curry but it tastes ok and the kids like it
