The tomato paste used in this recipe is a concentrated source of lycopene, with 28 mg per 1/4 cup (50 mL) compared with 3 mg in 1 raw tomato. It is also noteworthy that research indicates lycopene from cooked or processed tomatoes is more readily absorbed by the body, especially if cooked with olive oil.
Adjust this spicy-sweet curry to your heat tolerance – mild, medium or hot curry powder all work well. Tomato paste helps thicken the sauce in a hurry, but make sure you add it after the vegetables have softened or the acid in it will prevent them from becoming tender. Serve with warm naan and wedges of lime to squeeze over top.
