• 1-1 1/2 tbsp red thai curry paste
  • 1 inch finely chopped ginger
  • 25g cashews
  • 200ml coconut milk
  • 2 1/2 carrots cut into thin batons
  • 1/2 broccoli head cut into florets
  • 10g fresh coriander, chopped
  • 1/2 lime (zest and juice)
  • 1 large handful of spinach
My adventures in the Bumper Veggie Cookbook continue with this Thai Veg Curry; vegan, but as my mum’s been worrying about my protein intake (it’s fine, mum) with my being vegetarian and lactose intolerant, I’d just like to reassure you all (and her) that there’s LOADS in things like coconut milk, and chickpeas. Which make up most of my favourite recipes. Also Soya milk is FORTIFIED with things. Like calcium, mostly. And I have that every morning. Fear less, please.

 

Anyway, message to my mother aside, here’s today’s adventure into a really nice quick Thai veg curry. I’d be liberal with the coconut milk, though that’ll knock your fat content up, it also makes it tastier, so there.
