RECIPE TIPS
NUTRITION NOTES

Carrots are rich in carotenoids, which our bodies convert to vitamin A – vital for a healthy respiratory system. Ginger protects and heals the gut and eases stomach upsets and nausea.

IT'S ALL GOOD

Almonds are rich in vitamin E - eat with their skins intact, because flavonoids found in the skins more than double the potency. Nutmeg has anti-microbial properties; also enhances digestion and stimulates appetite.

Really nice recipe, I love ginger so added more along with cumin, turmeric and hot curry powder. It is lovely and warming, I’ll definitely make it again.

Added a tablespoon of curry powder when frying the onion, ginger and garlic... used 2 Oxo meat free chicken stock cubes, a one Knorr Vegetable stock pot. Lovely!
