Curry is a delicious and easy way to incorporate vegetables and nutrients into our diet.  Curry is flavorful and delicious and easy to make.  Curry also has many digestive spices including turmeric, black pepper, ginger, and others that help us better digest and assimilate the nutrients from our food.  The digestive spices in a curry help with sluggish digestion and breaking down mucus in the digestive tract.

I like to roast a variety of my favorite vegetables or those that are in season while i make my curry sauce.  Then I simply pour the sauce on top of the vegetables and add additional toppings i may be craving or that my diet is needing (such as nuts, seeds, cilantro, avocado, etc…).  The choices are really endless when it comes to curry and it can all be tailored around specific taste preferences or needs.

The below recipe will give you a basic template for creating your curry.

Ingredients:

Vegetables:

Roasted Vegetables of choice (can include zucchini, sweet potato, regular potato, eggplant, bell pepper or any other vegetable you enjoy)

Curry:

  1. 1 tbsp. ghee or avocado oil for dairy free
  2. 1 medium onion
  3. 4 garlic cloves
  4. 2-3 tablespoons of grated ginger
  5. 1 can full fat coconut milk (I like native forest simple brand)
  6. 1 cup vegetable broth
  7. 3 tablespoons curry paste
  8. 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  9. 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
  10. 1/2 tsp. salt
  11. 1/2 tsp. turmeric
  12. 1 tbsp. lime

Directions:

  1. Chop roasted veggies and toss with 1-2 tsp. oil for each vegetable.  Lay vegetables on a baking tray and place each vegetable onto the tray in its own row. Cook on 400 degrees for 30-40 minutes checking at 30 minutes then removing any vegetables that are finished and cooking the others a bit longer if they need to soften or get a bit more browned.
  2. In the meantime, heat up pan and put ghee or avocado oil. Allow to heat to medium temperature.
  3. Add onions and saute until translucent and slightly browned.
  4. Add garlic and ginger and saute for 1 minute. (Do not overcook these as they will become bitter and flavor your curry negatively).
  5. Add coconut milk, vegetable broth, curry paste, maple syrup, coconut aminos, salt and turmeric and stir.
  6. Allow to cook for 5-10 minutes to meld all the flavors together.
  7. Pour lime in and stir.
  8. Take roasted veggies and place onto individual plates.
  9. Top with curry and additional toppings of choice (such suggestions include green onion, avocado, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds).

Enjoy!
