Mixed Veggie Curry

Wash the broccoli and cut into florets. Wash and trim the beans. Peel the carrots, cut into quarters lengthways, then slice. Wash, halve, de-seed the bell pepper and cut into strips. Peel the garlic and finely chop. Blanch the string beans for 8 minutes in boiling, salted water, blanch the carrots for 5 minutes and the broccoli florets for 4 minutes. Drain the vegetables well. Fry the curry paste with 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet. Sauté the garlic, then pour in the coconut milk. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and add the bell pepper. Simmer for about 3 minutes. Add the brocolli, string beans and carrots and simmer for a further 2 - 3 minutes. Season to taste with chili and salt. Serve the vegetable curry with a bowlful of rice and garnish with freshly chopped herbs.
