Curries are delicious for dinner. Warming and filling, they are really tasty. However, all too many curry sauces contain lots and lots of sugar – especially those pre-made ones sold in jars. It’s a good meal for your 20 no-sugar days challenge. Lots of people think they don’t have time to make a curry from scratch but actually they are really simple and quick to do.
This is one of my favorite curries and it only takes 30 minutes to make from start to finish. The coconut milk gives it an awesome texture and the gluten-free quinoa makes a nice change from rice. Best of all, you can do the entire dish in a single pan so it’s super easy to clean up afterwards!
