This is a delicious low-fat dip with a sweet and spicy flavour. Serve wheat crackers or fiery tortilla chips as accompaniments for dipping.
1 onion
3 carrots
grated rind and juice of 2 oranges
15 ml (1 tbsp) hot curry paste
150 ml (1/4 pint) 2/3 cup low-fat natural yogurt
1 handful of fresh basil leaves
15 - 30 ml (1 - 2 tbsp) fresh lemon juice, to taste

1. Using a sharp vegetable knife, finely chop the onion. Peel and grate the carrots. Place the onion, carrots, orange rind and juice and hot curry paste in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to the boil, cover with a lid and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until tender.

2. Process the mixture in a blender or food processor until smooth. Leave to cool completely.

3. Stir in the yogurt, then tear the basil leaves into small pieces and stir them into the carrot mixture.
