Sri Lankan carrot curry

In the UK 728 million carrots are thrown away each year, contributing to over £1.2 billion in annual food wastage. We’ve all opened the cupboard to see a pair of lonely carrots and not known what to do with them. 2 in 5 people said the reasons for this were lack of knowledge and recipes. Luckily for us during Sri Lanka we picked up this quick and easy plant based carrot curry recipe which can turn those leftover root vegetables into a healthy and fresh meal in just a few minutes.

• 5 curry leaves, crumbled
• 20 ml coconut milk
