While making curry kind of sounds complex, it’s actually quite easy! Once your produce is washed and chopped, all that’s left to do is stir and simmer! This piquant dish is tasty all year long, but it’s especially appropriate during the fall and winter seasons. Serve it to your family and friends over quinoa or rice (or simply by itself!) for a comfort-food-worthy meal they’ll love. If you prefer a thicker, creamier curry, simply replace the vegetable broth (or water) with another can of coconut milk.
