  • 1 orange bell pepper chopped
  • 1 zucchini sliced into rounds
  • 200 g cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 red onion quartered
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Tikka Masala Sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 piece fresh ginger about 2 cm, grated
  • 2 tablespoons tikka masala curry paste
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 400 g crushed tomatoes
  • 400 ml coconut milk (1 can)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Roasted Vegetables:

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
  • In a large bowl, toss the chopped bell peppers, zucchini rounds, cherry tomatoes, and red onion quarters with the olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Stir halfway through to ensure even cooking.

Prepare the Tikka Masala Sauce:

  • While the vegetables are roasting, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for another 2 minutes.
  • Add the tikka masala curry paste, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, and turmeric. Stir well and cook for 1-2 minutes to release the aromas of the spices.
  • Add the crushed tomatoes and mix well. Let simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the coconut milk and let simmer for another 10 minutes until the sauce thickens. Add the lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assemble the Dish:

  • Add the roasted vegetables to the tikka masala sauce and mix well to coat the vegetables with the sauce.
  • Let simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Serve:

  • Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro.
  • Accompany with basmati rice or naan for a complete meal.
