Ina’s Tip

Lemon and orange rind is nature’s own health food. It is very rich in antioxidants, so use whenever you can.

Method

Sauté the onion, pre-seasoned with Masala Spice, in butter and oil until soft. Add the carrots and stir-fry over medium heat for 2 minutes. Add and mix in ginger, stir in the flour and curry powder. Blend well using a wooden spoon. Add the water, Chicken Stock Powder and coconut milk.

Simmer slowly for 20 minutes. Liquidise until smooth. Season to taste with Vegetable Spice. Add a squeeze of lemon juice if required. Garnish with a dollop of Coriander Pesto and lemon zest before serving.
