When in doubt, make curry!

If there are any ingredients I always have, it’s ingredients to make curries with. Curries are delightful dishes that are perfect with almost anything.

Today, I am going to share my go-to recipe for a quick vegetable curry with you. I must add that although this curry is good on the day it’s made, it’s even better on the second and third day.

This recipe includes vitamins and minerals such as vitamin A, thiamin, riboflavin, vitamin C, vitamin K, iron, magnesium, potassium, calcium, sulfur-containing compounds, sodium, niacin, flavonoids, fibre, folic acid and antioxidant polyphenols. The benefits of these nutrients can be found in the Nutrient Index.

Let’s get to the recipe!
