HOW TO MAKE IT
- Peel and finely dice the onion. Peel and finely chop the garlic and ginger. Peel the carrots and potatoes and cut them into cubes.
- Heat the oil in a pot over medium heat. Sauté the onion cubes until translucent. Add garlic and ginger and sauté briefly. Add carrots and potatoes and continue to sauté. Sprinkle with 1 tsp curry powder, ½ tsp paprika powder, and, if desired, a pinch of chili powder. Season with salt and pepper and briefly roast everything together.
- Pour in the vegetable broth. Cover the pot, bring to a boil, and cook the vegetables over medium heat for about 20 minutes until tender.
