rainbow curry
I had all the beautiful colours in my vegbox this week, so I decided to make Meera Sodha’s new potato, chard, and coconut curry recipe. Since I had carrots and green beans in my box, I threw those in with my potatoes and rainbow chard. This tastes as lovely as it looks. I’m so pleased….
