I’m a huge fan of curries! Even before I went vegan I loved to order curries in restaurants but only after becoming vegan and starting to cook my own meals, I’ve discovered how easy it actually was to make it myself. All you really need is coconut milk, some kind of vegetables, curry powder or paste and rice (or quinoa, if you like it to be healthier). My favorite veggies to use in curries are zucchini, carrots and pumpkin (for starchier version), but for this one I only used zucchini and red pepper, since those were the only veggies we had leftover. But feel free to change it up to whatever you like best in your curries, it really doesn’t matter. 🙂
