Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

When I was growing up our idea of exotic food was having curry sauce over our chips - well old Northern habits die hard. This is a slightly posher, more grown-up version of the same thing from a recipe book by Rose Elliot that I've had for years. It's a bit old and tatty, but the recipes are consistent winners.
Ingredients
4oz carrots, cut into batons
2 red peppers - sliced and deseeded
4oz baby corn - halved
4oz French beans - cut into 2cm pieces
4oz broccoli
4oz mangetout - halved
4oz baby spinach
4tbsp Thai red curry paste
4oog (a can) of coconut milk
Salt and pepper
Fresh coriander
Method
Bring a pan of water to the boil. Cut carrots and peppers into 5cm batons, add to the water and simmer for 5 minutes. Add corn, beans and broccoli. Simmer for a further 3 minutes. Add mangetouts and spinach for a further 2 minutes. Drain. Return to pan. Add curry paste, coconut milk, salt and pepper, stir until heated through. Sprinkle on coriander. A tablespoon of crunchy crushed peanuts can be added if you want to be dead posh!
Enjoy with chicken or fish, or for a true Northern touch with fat chips.
