Vegetable Coconut Curry with Mushrooms (GF + Vegan)

Winter and in general colder times of the month could be affecting our moods due to lack of sunlight. Therefore I try to eat foods with lots of different colours and cook with more spices during fall and winter.

It helps to uplift the mood and supports the immune system! We end up eating lots of East Indian-inspired dishes.

This Vegetable coconut curry is our weekly staple during this time of the year; I know for sure Milan (my man) loves it as he asks for it all the time.

This dish is a perfect balance of protein, healthy fats and fiber. Using mushrooms in this dish gives a meaty texture. I like to serve it over jasmine rice, brown rice or coconut cauliflower rice with a side of greens

WHY I LOVE THIS EAST-INDIAN INSPIRED DISH

This vegetable coconut curry:

• Is packed with spices which are full of antioxidants that help support our immune system, while containing anti-inflammatory properties
• Is easy on digestion because it contains ginger and lots of spices
• Is protein rich, containing lots of yummy beans such as chickpeas
• Is packed with veggies, therefor fiber rich
• Contains healthy fats such as coconut oil and coconut milk
• Can be made in a larger batches, frozen, and used whenever you want
