This is a very easy recipe for a vegetable curry that can be enriched with turkey or chicken breast if you are like meat. It really takes so fast to make, is very healthy, you can basically experiment with variety of vegetables. As you can tell from my other recipes, I am huge fan of Asian food, Thai food – in this case, and those cuisines inspire my cooking every day. 

Try this one and let me know what you think, do not prepare for veggies in advance, the recipe is written that way you can prepare as you go and the prep time is really short if you follow me.
