Notes
You can buy vegetable stock powder at supermarkets. Mix 1 tsp into 1 cup of warm water to make 1 cup of vegetable stock. If the curry is too thick for your liking, add a little water. Use any mixture of vegetables you have on hand such as corn kernels (frozen, canned or fresh), kumara, capsicum or parsnip.
