Indian Curry Madras (gluten free)
Curry Fan?
Today I have a delicious lunch or dinner idea 🙂 I never thought I’d try so many different curry variations but it’s actually been that way for about a year now. At
Curry Variations
At first I thought it would be a big effort to make such a dish at home but it is super easy and basically it is ready in about 15 minutes. You can also make it the way you like it, e.g. add vegetables you like, vary the spiciness and add tofu or paneer (paneer is an Indian cheese and not vegan). I prefer my Indian curry with spinach, tofu and tomatoes. I love this combination very much. You can also prepare this dish very good for the next days (as Meal Prep).
Why is curry so healthy?
Curry is not only very tasty, it also has a positive effect on your health. People who eat curry regularly are said to be more resistent to common diseases of civilization and inhibit inflammations, because curcuma is usually a component of curry. Therefore I recommend to add turmeric regularly at breakfast or dinner.
