How to make it

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).

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