This is definitely something for this colder weather! Bold and flavoursome spicy curry packed with protein and goodness! I believe this is Slimming World friendly too so there’s no excuses not to make it! 😀
It is most certainly chilly here today! The ground was frozen this morning and the temperature still hasn’t got above zero degrees! It is cold! This curry is therefore the perfect food for making, eating and sharing! Oh yes, talking of sharing, I’m taking this over to Angie @FiestaFriday this week! I thought I should take something along – show my face – wish everyone a Happy New Year! 🙂 This week the Fiesta is co-hosted by Suzanne @ apuginthekitchen and Kat @ Kat’s 9 Lives please come over and join in the fun! 🙂
This curry can be eaten just as it is, full of lovely warming spices and delicious flavour in every bite, or you can add some rice or quinoa on the side. You could of course throw in some extras such as some greens, a cooling yogurt dressing or even some bread to scoop up the sauce. You could also pair it with some other Indian based goodies such as these easy lentil pakoras or a luscious daal (I’m making myself drool now)! YUMMY winter food! 😀
What are you waiting for? Get cooking! 😀
Perfect for winter, this vegetarian curry is vegan and slimming world friendly!
