Vegetable Recipe: Veggies In Coconut Curry Sauce
Indian Inspired Vegan Recipe, Delicious With Dosas, Chapatis Or Rice
One of our favorite meals is Dosas (Indian crêpes), filled with sauced vegetables. This recipe makes an ideal filling. Serve with Mint Coconut Chutney and a bowl of Mung Dhal for a delicious Indian meal.
I used kale, sweet potato, and chick peas, because that's what I had on hand. Combinations of cabbage, cauliflower, spinach, potato, peas or carrots would also work.
6 servings, prep time about 20 minutes: You'll need a wide bottomed sauté pan for this recipe. Everything is done in one pot, and takes 20 - 30 minutes. I cook the dosas first (or the rice or chapatis), and keep them warm, while I cook the veggies.
