If you haven’t been able to tell, we really like curry. And the amazing thing about it is how many different styles exist and flavors that can be created. The cashew butter gives a very nice texture to this version, and since it’s not very spicy, the flavor comes through with full force.
This dish is fantastic with brown rice and quinoa. We’ve even enjoyed it with millet and amaranth. If you’re feeling a little adventurous with your grains, have some fun and try out one of those options.
