Curry With Rice

This cozy vegetable curry is everything you need on a cloudy day. Packed with fiber, color, and warmth. It’s flexible too: swap veggies based on what’s lurking in your fridge. No rules, just spice and comfort.

Prep time: 15 minutes

Cooking time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 small head broccoli, cut into florets
  • 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced (small pieces)
  • 1 carrot, sliced or chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh grated ginger
  • 1 cup oat milk
  • 1 cup chopped tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp curry powder (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • Olive oil
  • Salt + pepper to taste
  • A squeeze of lemon or lime

+ Side

  • A portion of cooked rice (cook separately while curry simmers)

Steps

  1. Sauté the base:
    In a large pot, heat olive oil.
    Add chopped onion and sauté until soft.
    Stir in garlic and ginger and cook for 1 more minute.

  2. Add spices:
    Add curry powder. Stir well for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  3. Add veggies:
    Toss in sweet potato, carrot, and bell pepper. Stir to coat in the spices.
    Pour in the chopped tomatoes and milk. Stir well.

  4. Simmer:
    Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat.
    Cover and simmer for 15–20 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are tender. Add broccoli florets and frozen peas (and any quick-cooking veggies like spinach) in the last 5–7 minutes.

  5. Finish it:
    Season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon or lime juice.
    Garnish with fresh herbs and serve with rice and some of my naan bread or soda bread.
