About the dish

A vegetable dish with a mild curry sauce, showing that curry was already in use in Norwegian kitchens.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Cook the vegetables

    Cut the cleaned roots into slices or cut them out with a cutter. Boil them in boiling salted water until tender, and drain (keep about 1 dl of the water).

  2. 2

    Make the sauce

    Melt the butter and let the onion slice simmer for a couple of minutes without browning. Stir in the flour and curry, and thin gradually with the milk and about 1 dl vegetable water.

  3. 3

    Simmer

    Let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes and strain it over the mixed vegetables, neatly arranged on a slightly deep dish.

  4. 4

    Alternative

    You can also bring the vegetables and sauce to the boil together just before serving.
