A stir-fry of summer vegetables is cooked with ginger and spices and coconut milk, making a dish evocative of Indonesian cuisine. Serve it with rice or noodles.

In the blender, grind the spices, herbs, almonds and onion into a paste. Fry the ground paste in the oil for 3-4 minutes, stirring well, then stir in half of the coconut milk. Add the vegetables and stir over a gentle heat for 10 minutes. Then add the rest of the coconut milk and simmer for a further 8-10 minutes. Check the seasoning and serve hot, garnished with chopped hard-boiled egg.
