Instructions

In a pan with the olive oil, sauté the onion and garlic over medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes, until soft and fragrant.

Add the diced carrots and cook for a further 2-3 minutes.

Add the beef mince and stir over high heat until the mince has browned. Use a wooden spoon to break down any large lumps.

Add the tomato paste, curry powder, salt, beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, zucchini and peas and stir to combine. Bring to the boil.

Mix the flour with 1/4 cup water (or use extra stock instead). Stir until lump-free. Add the flour to the mince mixture and stir.

Reduce the heat and simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until the vegetables are cooked through and the sauce has thickened. If you need to thicken the sauce further, add a little more flour until you reach your desired consistency.

While the sauce is simmering, taste and adjust the curry, salt and Worcestershire sauce levels, to taste.

Serve over a bed of creamy mashed potatoes, pasta, rice or buttered toast.
