Are you a curry lover? I definitely am! Currys are so super easy to make, creamy, rich and full of flavor. This red curry bowl is made within 25 minutes. Just grab your veggies, chop and cook everything in one wok. So no need to do wash a lot of dishes and pans. For this recipe I spiralized carrots and zucchini, but you can also simply chop them or substitute them with rice noodles or add some more rice noodles to your liking. I also added brokkoli as it is delish and super healthy as well as some mushrooms. But this comfort food curry also allows for another selection of veggies of your choice. So this recipe is also ideal to “clean your fridge” from leftover veggies. Personally, I like my currys very spicy, but just go for a mild version and use less curry paste and skip the chili in case you want to serve the curry to kids or people who are not into spicy food. So, hope you enjoy and have a good one, all the best Lea.
