Vegetable Curry Laksa

Vegetable Curry Laksa came about purely because I was in Bali and was able to find fresh laksa leaves. For me this is an absolute treat as a chef. I get to experiment and to try new ingredients or ingredients available in other formats than I am used to in London. Also, I do not like to overcook my ingredients – so the beans and carrots in this dish retain their crunch flavour. I love this dish because you can taste the subtle flavours on both the laksa and curry leaves. This dish is for four servings.
