What’s for Dinner? 20-Minute Vegetable Curry
By Maria Marlowe
After a long weekday, the best dinner is nourishing and satisfying, but also unfussy. And, of course, it can’t take forever in the kitchen.
You can make this easy vegetable curry exactly as written, or swap in other vegetables you prefer or have on hand. Onions, bell peppers, cauliflower—there are tons of possibilities. Bump up or pull back on the curry paste and chilies depending on how much heat you like, and toss in some cooked chicken or shrimp if you want to boost the protein. Make it your own—and make it tonight.
