2 WAY GREEN CURRY
Vegan/Gluten Free/ Refined Sugar Free
I've written two recipes for you all my friends! One is a pre-made jar recipe and the other is for all those adventurous home cooks out there who want to experiment within the kitchen.
Something I've learnt from my vegan cooking endeavours is that it's VERY possible to over load your cooking with too many veggies and it can overpower the flavour of a dish. When it comes to curries or soups, I've found it's good to stick with a few ingredients and compliment them with herbs and spices.
Hope you all enjoy this hearty meal. It is the BOMB with my coconut, chilli & lemongrass rice.
