Cooking approach and texture

The technique here centres on sauteing. This recipe depends on careful portioning and clean handling rather than complicated cooking. Follow the listed preparation notes where supplied, and keep the featured ingredients fresh and neatly stored.

One useful cue from the method is to peel and grate the carrots. Also, chop the cilantro, green chili and tear the curry leaves into small pieces. Continue through the remaining steps in order so the ingredients come together with a more consistent finish.

Planning and preparation notes

Portion only what is required for serving and keep the remainder clean, dry and well covered. A simple ingredient-led recipe is at its best when freshness, aroma and texture have been protected before it reaches the plate.

Kitchen tips for a better result

• Measure a serving into a bowl rather than eating directly from storage.
• Keep dry ingredients in a clean, airtight container away from moisture.
• Check freshness and aroma before serving, especially for seeds or nuts.
