    * 2 Small onions – finely chopped
    * 4 Garlic cloves – sliced
    * ½ Celery stalk – finely chopped
    * 500 ml Beef stock – (for purely vegetarian version use vegetable stock with 1tbsp of miso)
    * 200 ml Coconut Cream – (Much better for curry then coconut milk)
    * 4 tsp Curry Powder
    * 2 tbsp Plain flour
    * 1 tbsp Dark Soy Sauce – (More robust flavour then standard Soy Sauce)
    * 1 tsp Honey – Skip if using sweet potatoes
    * 1 tbsp Japanese Mirin
    * 5 tbsp Canola oil – for frying
    * 1 Green chilli – sliced for garnish
    * 1 cup Short grain rice – to serve for 4 people

    # Instructions:

    1. Begin by heating 2 tbsp of rapeseed oil in a medium-sized pot.
    2. Add 2 diced onions and half of a finely chopped celery stick to the pot. Sweat the ingredients on medium heat for **5 minutes**.
    3. Turn up the heat slightly and add 2 diced carrots and 2 large diced potatoes to the pot. Fry until the vegetables start to brown. You may need to add a little bit more oil at this step.
    4. Next, pour in 500ml of beef stock, 1 tbsp of soy sauce, and 1 tbsp of mirin. Stir to combine.
    5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer until the vegetables are soft and tender, **around 20-25 minutes** (If you’re using sweet potatoes, the cooking time might be shorter).
    6. While the vegetables are cooking, prepare the curry roux. In a small frying pan, heat 3 tbsp of oil and add 4 cloves of sliced garlic. Cook until the garlic is browned, then add 4 tsp of curry powder and 2 tbsp of plain flour. Cook on low heat for **a minute** to combine.
    7. Once the potatoes and carrots are cooked to your desired texture, add 200ml of coconut milk and 1 tsp of honey to the pot. Bring to a boil and then turn off the heat.
    8. Stir in the curry roux to thicken the sauce, taste and adjust the seasoning. Serve the curry with a side of rice and sliced green chili. **Enjoy!**
