Toddler's veggies curry

I was determined to share this recipe, as it tasted really good. Or it must be good because my 24months old toddler had 3 portions (each portion as shown in pictures or more). I find that the taste has natural sweetness came from sweet potato and carrot and slight gingery taste that resembles curry for toddler.

The picture probably didnt look attractive or clear but it was certainly a hit.

Recipe:

3 cloves garlic
4 shallots
1 small piece old ginger
1 cup chopped cabbage
1 Tbsp anchovies (presoaked)
1/2 tomato (quartered)
1/2 small carrot (sliced)
1 orange sweet potato (cut into small cubes)
1/2 tsp organic turmeric powder
1/2 tsp organic curry powder
1 cup soup stock
2 Tbsp thick whipping cream

(1) Presteamed sweet potato and carrot till half cooked.

(2) Finely chop garlic, shallot and ginger.
(3) Drain anchovies over sieve, rinse a few times and remove dirty / black part.
(4) Heat up some coconut oil using a sauce pan, saute anchovies till brown. Add in chopped garlic, shallot and ginger and saute till brown and fragrant.

For the seaweed rice ball, i steamed japanese pearl rice. Once done, i added a little bit of vinegar and let it cool a little. Separately, i cut some roasted seaweed finely. Eventually i mix shredded seaweed with the rice and form into rice balls shape.
