To serve
Level 7
- Serve the prepared curry with steamed broccolini and rice.
Level 6
- Chop steamed broccolini to 1.5cm and serve with the prepared curry and steamed rice.
Chef tip: Rice requires a sauce to moisten it and hold it together. Rice should not be sticky and should not separate into individual grains when cooked and served. May require a thick, smooth, non-pouring sauce to moisten and hold the rice together.
Level 5
- Cool slightly and serve minced korma in a bowl with mashed potato and warmed broccoli puree. Alternatively, place korma and broccoli into moulds, refrigerate or freeze until set, and reheat gently for service another day.
Level 4
- Cool slightly and spoon korma onto a plate with the piped mashed potato and pureed broccoli. Alternatively, place korma and pureed broccoli into moulds, refrigerate or freeze, and reheat gently for service another day.
NOTE: Ensure you complete the IDDSI Testing methods, as set out in the IDDSI Audit Sheets, before serving the dish.
