A vibrant orange sauce which is suitable for either beef or chicken dishes. It doesn’t take long to prepare and the flavours infuse during a low but short simmering on the stove top. You can make the sauce in advance and add to cooked meatballs or chicken. I serve the dish with extra vegetables or a small serving of quinoa or brown rice.
Here’s what you will need;
- curry powder
- brown onion
- tin chopped tomatoes
- carrots
- garlic
- turmeric
- salt & ground black pepper
- Fresh coriander
- optional – scoop of coconut cream
