2. Prepare Dried Fruit:

3. Cook Curry Base:

   • In a large saucepan or skillet, melt the margarine over medium heat. Add curry powder, salt, and minced garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and the spices are toasted.

4. Prepare Cornstarch Mixture:

   • In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with 1/4 cup of orange juice until smooth.

5. Combine Ingredients:

   • Stir the cornstarch mixture and remaining 3/4 cup of orange juice into the curry base. Add the mixed dried fruit along with its soaking liquid. Stir well to combine.

6. Heat and Thicken:

   • Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Cook until the sauce thickens slightly.

7. Add Beef and Onions:

   • Stir in the diced roast beef and chopped green onions. Heat until the beef is warmed through.

8. Serve:

   • To serve, place a portion of cooked spaghetti onto each plate or bowl. Spoon the curried beef and fruit sauce over the spaghetti.
