Quick & Easy Indian Curry Quinoa

Hi everyone! It’s been a while since my last post but I’m almost all set up in my new apartment now, so I should be able to get a bunch of new recipes posted before the end of the year. Can you believe it’s already the middle of November? Time flies!

When lunch rolled around yesterday, I decided to experiment a bit and I came up with this little recipe that is a mix of my Quick & Easy Red Curry Quinoa and this Spicy Potato Curry.

Because it’s made up of pantry staples, this recipe is easy enough to pull together, even for a basic kitchen like mine is right now!

For the veggies, I used carrots and a mixture of kale and spinach, however frozen green peas, butternut squash, cauliflower, broccoli or mushrooms would be equally delicious.
