    I was really glad that I read all the feedback before making this. I added some broccolli to the cauli and cooked them seperately before adding at the last minute. I also added some diced sweet potato to the carrots and added 1tsp of mild curry powder to help the Korma along a bit. All in all, quick and easy to make, quite cheap and very healthy. Will be doing again, I'm sure.
