Mixed Lentil Yellow Curry

I have been on a curry kick lately. As it is currently freezing cold where I live, I have consumed exorbitant amounts of ginger, and it has kept me afloat this season. The warmth of this dish along with the complex flavors from the spices makes this perfect winter comfort food. I hope you try… Continue reading Mixed Lentil Yellow Curry

Chicken Meatballs in Curry Simmer Sauce

This dish is wonderful for the transition from winter to spring. It is nutrient-dense, hearty, and relatively easy to prepare. The flavors take inspiration from Thai curries, but I am not experienced or knowledgeable enough about Thai food to claim this curry as Thai. This curry is definitely catered to my own palette, and all… Continue reading Chicken Meatballs in Curry Simmer Sauce

Split Pea Curry

Let me set the stage here: I had a pumpkin patiently sitting on my counter for about a month and an array of spices to choose from in my cabinet.  I was tempted to remake my cheesy butternut squash soup using pumpkin, but I decided to branch out.  I followed the cooking outline from my… Continue reading Curried Pumpkin Soup

Red Lentil Curry

This recipe is one of my favorite go-to dishes that is simple and quick to make.  Inspiration for this recipe came from High Carb Hannah’s Instant Pot recipe book.  If you do not have an Instant Pot, this recipe can easily be made on the stove.  Cooking times will be different, though. Ingredients Curry 2… Continue reading Red Lentil Curry
