This simple vegetable curry is a delicious side dish. I usually serve it with some white rice, but any grain or legume will do. It's ready in 20 minutes!
We Spaniards are not used to spicy food, actually you won't find many spicy recipes in Spanish cuisine. When I started to travel to other countries I realized I couldn't eat some delicious dishes or even at some restaurants, so I started to use cayenne powder, sriracha and other spicy foods on my daily basis. Although I know I probably would die in India or even Mexico, I think I'm more used to spicy food now than most of Spanish people are.
If you like spicy food, this simple vegetable curry is for you. Add more cayenne powder or omit it if you want, it will still be delicious.
Vegetable curry is a perfect dish for summer. It's so simple and refreshing because is made of veggies and cayenne powder is great to beat the heat. It's also a great choice for winter because is warm and so comforting, especially if you serve it with some rice or any other grains or even legumes. You'll have a super satisfying meal!

Hi! This recipe looks so good...all but the curry powder. What can I substitute with that will complement the rest of the ingredients?
Thank you!

Hi Susan! The curry is the most important ingredient in this recipe, but if you don't like it feel free to use any other spice you want. Turmeric powder can be a great choice. Have a nice day!
