Tara's Quick Veggie Curry
7 February, 2024
This quick and easy veggie curry can be whipped up in under 30 minutes. It also tastes even better the next day, making it great for all you meal preppers out there. We kept this veggie-based, but you can always add any protein you like, and if time permits, leave it to cook for an hour to infuse the flavours even more.
