Today I thought I would share a great curry recipe.
Since my last post, Scott and I have been eating primarily a plant-based diet.
This is intended to help our bodies eliminate any toxins and improve our digestive system. I am also hoping to shed a couple of ‘cruise kilos’. So far I am on track. We are both feeling better and interestingly our sleep has improved.
Recipes for Inspiration
There are many great recipes that I regularly use for meal inspiration and this is 1 of our favourites.
The original recipe is in a small booklet that I got from The Source Bulk Foods last year. I have made a couple of small additions.
This quick, easy and delicious meal has many health benefits.
- Garlic contains antioxidants that protect against cell damage and ageing.
- Onions have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
- Broccoli is high in many vitamins and minerals.
- Cauliflower provides a significant amount of antioxidants
- Capsicum is very high in vitamin C
- Studies show that tomatoes and tomato products may reduce the risk of heart disease and several cancers.
- Turmeric contains curcumin, a substance with powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
You can add or change out the vegetables to suit your tastes, or what you have in the fridge. Though it is a vegetarian curry, it can easily be changed to a meat curry by simply adding your choice of diced meat.
Coconut Curry
serves 4
Ingredients
½ onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
½ broccoli cut into small flowerets
½ cauliflower cur into small flowerets
4 small potatoes diced
½ capsicum roughly chopped
2 tbsp tamari sauce
2 heaped tbsp. curry powder
2 tsp turmeric powder
1 tin diced tomatoes
400ml coconut cream
bunch of fresh coriander roughly chopped
* Cooked rice, noodles or quinoa to serve
Method
- In a large saucepan, cook the onion and garlic till the onion is translucent
- add the spices and stir for a minute
- add all the rest of the ingredients (except coriander and rice/noodles)
- bring to the boil, then reduce and simmer until the vegetables are cooked
- add ½ the coriander and stir through
- serve on rice or noodles
- sprinkle rest of coriander on top
When I first made this, I thought that the sauce would split. This is not the case.
It becomes a really creamy sauce.
Till the next post,
Live clean n prosper
