Carrot and Courgette Laksa

This recipe uses a laksa paste from Rupy's book Eat To Beat Illness, but you could use a ready-made Malaysian-style red curry (laksa) paste if you pre...fer – in fact, most south-east Asian pastes will work in this dish.

Curries are a fantastic vehicle for nutrient-rich vegetables. Carrots are a rich and widely available source of beta-carotene, but you could easily use grated sweet potato or butternut squash for similar nutrient and health properties. The grated apple brings a touch of sweetness to the final dish that mellows the heat of the paste.
