One question I get asked a ton, what’s my favorite thing to cook? Well, THIS IS THE RECIPE!
Why? Because it’s unbelievably easy, it’s hard to mess up and it’s total comfort in a bowl. I honestly go back for seconds every single time.
I even made this for my dad, and he is not a curry fan, nor does he like spicy food - but he loved it!! There’s something about the creamy coconut that makes this dish feel indulgent and cozy!
To do: carve out 30 minutes from your weekend & do yourself a favor and make this recipe. This is one of those recipes that gets better with time (the longer it sits in the fridge, the yummier it will taste). My batch usually lasts about 3-4 meals, so you could meal prep it for yourself & enjoy it throughout the week, or make enough for your whole family to enjoy during a busy weeknight!
Let’s talk about my favorite part, the health benefits & hacks to get the most nutrition out of it!
Adding turmeric to this dish is great for reducing inflammation in the body. But fun fact, it has to be paired with black pepper for your body to actually absorb it! So thats why you’ll see those two ingredients paired together!
Did you know that spinach has a ton of plant based iron in it? Well, the only way iron is absorbed in the body is if it is paired with citrus! That’s why we add that lime in there! Plant based nutrition with tons of iron!
Chickpeas are filled with folate, which is essential for brain and nerve function! It’s important for the development of brain nerves so all you expecting mamas out there, go ahead and add some chickpeas into your diet!
