Homestyle Vegetarian Curry

Homestyle vegetarian curry (家乡咖喱菜) is actually a curry vegetable dish, easily cooked at home. It consists of an assortment of vegetables cooked in coconut milk gravy. As I am cooking it as a vegetarian dish, I have omitted onions and garlic for this recipe. Beancurd puffs, beancurd skins and fried gluten balls added make the curry gravy taste so much sweeter and all the more wholesome. Can even be served as a one meal dish on a weekend with both steamed rice or fried rice vermicelli (fried meehoon).

Homestyle Vegetarian Curry

This assorted vegetables curry dish is amazingly quick and easy to cook. The bulk of time used is cutting the vegetables into pieces and preparing the spices for the curry. Then cooked everything together to blend all the spice flavours and chilli paste with the cut fresh vegetables in a creamy coconut milk base. And we’re done! Certainly a super simple, veggie-packed curry that will please any crowd. So Enjoy!
