What is better than a bunch of fresh fall vegetables soaked in a rich and creamy coconut milk broth spiked with fresh ginger, garlic and curry paste? Not much. This recipe is whipped up in under 30 minutes and is one of my staple meals each week.
Like most of my recipes the veggies can be changed by whatever you have in season or laying around in your fridge. Cut down on prep by cutting the rest of your ingredient while the onions and peppers cook down.
