Parsnip Korma (A root veg curry) inspired by Nigel Slater’s book Tender

The Flavour Thesaurus – Chicken and Bell Peppers
The Flavour Thesaurus by Nikki Segnit is one of the best books about food and cooking that I have purchased this year, and to judge whether that statement has any value perhaps I should mention I have bought more than 50 other cookbooks (so far). In essence it is not really a cookbook per se, no…
