EASY VEGETABLE CURRY

 

This curry recipe is so easy to make at home! It’s much tastier than takeout and healthier, too. This simple, tasty and Easy Vegetable Curry with  Coconut Milk is one of my weeknight favorites. The curry is simmered with potatoes, sweet pumpkin, and carrots and coconut milk adds a creamy touch.
