Healthy veggies simmered in a simple coconut milk curry

If you think you don't like to eat your vegetables, you might just change your mind when you discover these simple and healthy vegetables simmered in a simple coconut milk curry. Just about any veggies will do - try adding spinach to get your greens, or baby corn for a change. These veggies have a bit of extra sauce, so you can serve them over rice, noodles, or try them with a whole grain such as millet or quinoa.

Ingredients:

  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger
  • 1 green chili, seeded
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp coriander
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp curry
  • 1/2 cauliflower, chopped
  • 1 cup green beans
  • 1 carrot, sliced
  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1/2 tsp salt, or to taste

Preparation:

Process the onion, garlic, ginger and chili in a food processor until smooth.

In a large skillet, heat the onion mixture and spices along with the oil and spices. Allow to cook for a minute or two, stirring frequently.

Add the vegetables and the coconut milk and stir well. Season generously with 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste.

Cover and allow to cook for at least 20 minutes, or until veggies are tender.

Serve over rice if desired.
