Delicious Vegetable Curry

This vegetable curry is extremely satisfying even for avid meat lovers.   Generally the only time I made meatless dishes is because I don’t actually have any meat in the fridge or freezer.

Saying that, the vegetarian meals that I make are so tasty that no one actually even misses the meat.

You can use any vegetables you like in this curry, but I really like to have at least two “meaty” types, such as pumpkin and sweet potato, along with the greens.

If you really can’t do without your fix of meat, chicken would taste delicious.  Chick peas or tofu would also taste great if you want to add them.

And if you have any leftovers, make them into pies like these left over beef-curry-pies
