This vegetable curry is one of my favorite dishes. It’s healthy, anti-inflammatory and delicious. I make a large batch of it every week.
Have it as a side with some protein. Spread it over a bed of brown rice or eat it cold as a snack. Bring it to work for lunch and I bet you’ll skip the 3pm slump.
Notes
You may need to add more stock or water if the sauce is too thick.
A little sweetener such as maple syrup, honey, or brown sugar may be needed (around 1-2 tbsp) to balance out the natural bitterness of turmeric.
Add lemon juice, which brings out the curry flavor nicely, to taste.
