Method

Add the carrots, ginger and crushed coriander seeds and stir on medium heat for 2 minutes. Add the vegetable stock or water and bring to a boil. Simmer on medium heat until the vegetables soften. Take the pan off the heat and let the mixture cool. Purée the mixture in a blender and transfer to the deep pan and reheat. Season with salt and pepper powder. Ladle into bowls, spoon a spoonful of coconut cream into each bowl and garnish with coriander or parsley. Serve hot with whole wheat bread.
