Add to Cart

Curries are outstanding examples of traditional spicing. I think of them as medicinal stews because they’re so packed with the world’s most potent spices: ginger, turmeric, cumin, and more! This is a lighter take on a classic curry--it’s lower in calories, but not in flavor. It’s full of quercetin-rich vegetables (bell pepper, broccoli, onion), which helps your body absorb turmeric’s main anti-inflammatory and disease-fighting compound, curcumin. And please don’t forget a sprinkle of black pepper, which also boosts curcumin absorption!

Directions

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add in the onion and ginger and sauté for 3 to 5 minutes, until the onion is softened. Add the spice and saute for 30 seconds to allow the spice to bloom and become fragrant.
Add carrots, cauliflower, green beans, and bell pepper and sauté for 5 to 7 minutes more.
Reduce the heat to low, add chickpeas, cover, and cook another 5 to 7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender but not mushy.
Remove from heat, stir in milk, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
