The parsley is a lovely touch too.

===Serving suggestions===
Serve with homemade [[Pitta breads|pitta breads]] and garnish with corander
===Variations===
Probably not totally authentic, but a little [[double cream]], discovered in the fridge, whisked up with a drop of milk and whirled into the stew adds a touch of luxury!

This was made around Christmas time, so the next day, I fried some [[onions]] and [[curry paste]], blitzed the second half of the stew in a [[food processor]], added leftover turkey trimmings and made a wonderful turkey curry. Even after a prolonged period in the blender, the stew still had a fabulous texture with plenty of bite and also colour from the [[spinach]] and [[carrot]] pieces. This will be made again. Sorry Gent.
