This curry has lots of different vegetables in, all with different colours and textures.



Allowing the vegetables to cook in the curry sauce means very little nutrients are lost in the cooking process; keeping the vegetables a little crunchy will also help this. Firm tofu, meat or fish can be a great addition to this curry for an added protein source. That said, using veggies like green beans, sugar snap peas, baby corn and bean sprouts are all vegetables with higher protein content.



When paired with the good source of fats from the coconut oil and milk, some slow-release carbohydrates from rice or noodles and lots of fibre from the different vegetables and grains; this dish is really well balanced.
