- TIPS:
- Any leftovers can be reheated and rolled up in a warm roti or whole wheat tortilla.
- Fresh coriander, used in Indian cooking is the same herb as cilantro, which is the Latin American name for it.
- To preserve the bright green colour of the broccoli you could microwave or steam on the stove separately and then stir into the curry at the end of cooking time.
