By Kathy Steger
Today I want to share a delicious vegetarian recipe with you that will leave you full and satisfied. This simple curry sauce took me 10 minutes to prepare and the entire dish was done in less than 30 minutes. It’s delicious on its own, over rice or with naan bread. For those of you interested in making it a non vegetarian dish I suggest adding shrimp or chicken breast.
Next, be sure to make Coconut Red Curry with Lentils.
