The amazing photos in this post were taken by my wonderful mother Isabel Gates. Thank you mama! <3 

This warm, flavorful, wonderful curry is inspired by this recipe from Minimalist Baker. I have adapted the ratios but most of this recipe comes from the original, except for the amounts of coconut milk and the removal of sweeteners. This recipe comes together quickly, under 30 minutes! It was SO tasty. I was so impressed.

NOTE: This only contains half of a fruit serving, so you will need to supplement with 3 oz of some other kind of fruit, like apple slices, berries, small banana, apricot, etc.

Directions

  1. Chop and weigh out the onion, red pepper, broccoli, and peas to the desired weight.
  2. Mince or grate the ginger and garlic.
  3. In a heavy bottomed pot over medium heat, sauté the onion, ginger, garlic, chili paste, and curry paste in a tiny bit of coconut oil for a couple of minutes, until fragrant and softened.
  4. Add coconut milk, salt, soy sauce, and turmeric, and simmer over medium heat for a few minutes.
  5. Add all the veggies except the peas to the pot.
  6. Simmer for 5-10 minutes, covered, stirring occasionally.
  7. When the veggies are softened, add fruit, peas, and lemon juice, and simmer for 3-4 minutes more over low heat.
  8. Garnish with cashews and fresh basil or cilantro.
  9. This meal keeps well for a few days. I add the cashews at the end before serving, so they don’t get soggy.

    Nice recipe Katie. The sweetness of the mango and crunch from the cashews made for a lovely filling BLE lunch. Love your website and the recipe tips to help me stick to my BLE with shiny bright lines.
