You all know I’m a fan of easy industrial sized cooking to keep my lads fed. I like recipes that are all about throwing everything into a pot, simmer and serve.
🍛This curry does exactly that. It’s my mother-in-law's recipe and I’ve used it for over 20 years. You can adjust the heat to your taste and add more veggies if you want a vegetarian version. Lentils would be a great addition too! The point is that it’s a versatile dish that works for you. Don’t be intimidated by the long list of ingredients- it really is just adding things to a pot and stirring!
Chock full of good things for your tummy, your food on your plate is your ticket to good health. Especially as we know more now about the gut microbiome, and during peri & menopause we know how much our gut changes. It can lead to irregularity, bloating, discomfort and gas. All the spices, veggies, fresh ginger and garlic, feed the good bugs in your gut to keep you happy and healthy. My fabÜ GUT CULTURE further supports your digestive health, working with you during the changes of peri & menopause to get you back on track and feeling good again.
Easy and delicious when you want good food, fast… Here’s the video and here’s the recipe 👇
